Potawatomi Hotel & Casino
Following the design of the original LEED-Gold-certified Potawatomi Hotel & Casino in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Cuningham Group designed a 119-room hotel tower expansion that features a spa and additional meeting space.
The 19-story hotel tower expansion brings the total room count to 500, making it the second largest hotel in Milwaukee. The existing hotel contains a casual dining restaurant, a lobby bar/lounge and meeting space.
To reflect its setting, the hotel’s façade is a combination of green-tinted transparent and opaque glass to resemble Lake Michigan’s shimmery waves on a sunny day.
Angel of the Winds Casino Resort
The 300,000-square-foot expansion and renovation of Angel of the Winds Casino Resort in Arlington, Washington elevates the property to a destination resort.
The expansion adds 275 slot machines and 12 new table games, a 200-seat buffet and 60-seat upscale steakhouse, and an entertainment block with a multi-purpose 750-seat entertainment facility, 12-lane HyperBowling facility, and virtual sports simulators.
The design takes its cues from the natural, organic forms in the Washington landscape with sweeping pathways and strong ceiling elements.
Rival House
Rival House at Grand Casino Hinckley in Hinckley, Minnesota combines gaming and music for a dynamic experience.
Rival House’s front half contains high-top seating, stage and dance floor, and the back half offers arcade-style games. It also contains one of two HyperBowling facilities in Minnesota.
The stylish, smart and whimsical design of the space utilizes unique materials such as reclaimed wood, theatrical lights, decorative tile, triangular ceiling elements with integrated lighting and inconspicuously designed acoustic wall panels.
