Cuningham Group

Architectural Storytellers

Cuningham Group transcends tradition with architecture, interior design, urban design and planning services for a diverse mix of client and project types, with a significant focus on gaming, casino and entertainment destinations.

“The future of casino resorts lies in the design of ‘experience architecture’ and the use of architectural storytelling to create unique environments. As in the Vegas of today, the resorts of the new millennium will be multidimensional experiences, where each guest becomes part of the action,” says Tom Hoskens, AIA, principal of Cuningham Group.

Cuningham Group’s client-centered, collaborative approach incorporates trend-setting architecture and environmental responsiveness to create projects that weave seamlessly into the urban fabric. While design excellence through collaboration is always the goal, the development of green solutions for the clients and the planet is also a priority. The company believes each project should be designed for the betterment of the community and society as a whole, where sustainability and green design are a natural extension of Cuningham Group’s core ideologies.

Throughout its 17-year history designing gaming and resort destinations, Cuningham Group’s stature in the industry has continued to grow. Multiple gaming industry awards and repeat work from clients have come from the firm’s successes in designing creative and profitable gaming resort environments.

Major project openings this year include the new Hotel and Convention Center at the Isleta Casino & Resort in New Mexico, the Creek Nation Casino in Oklahoma and the Red Hawk Casino in California.

Cuningham Group’s portfolio of completed projects represents a full array of casinos, hotels, theaters, convention centers, restaurants, retail venues, parking structures and support facilities that comprise gaming and resort destinations. These include the Harrah’s Cherokee Great Smoky Mountain Casino Resort, Soaring Eagle Casino Resort, Palace Casino Resort and seven casino resorts for Grand Casinos/Lakes Entertainment, to name a few.

Extensive experience allows Cuningham Group to offer clients the professional design expertise essential for creating environments that attract guests, increase profitability and encourage repeat visits.
