A fresh chapter for a Twin Falls community favorite. 🏊‍♂️

The Twin Falls City Pool Remodel transformed the existing pool house into a more welcoming, family-friendly, and accessible facility for visitors of all ages. The project reimagined the locker room and wash facility experience to better support privacy, comfort, and ADA accessibility while creating a bright, durable environment designed to serve the community for years to come.

We’re proud to see this important community asset back in operation and supporting summers in Twin Falls!

Supporting the work you don’t always see. 👀

This 4,500 SF, one-story facility with mezzanine was designed for the Ada County W**d, 🌱 Pest & Mosquito 🦟 Abatement Department, supporting equipment, vehicles, and drone operations with a dedicated drive aisle and organized storage. 🚙
This was a fast-tracked project, moving from design development ⏩ to submittal in just 6 weeks.
With weekly coordination meetings from the start, and close collaboration with Ada County alongside Ally, ECI, Nasland, and Stack Rock, we were able to keep the process moving and decisions aligned.
The result: highly functional and efficient facility that now improves security, organization, and accessibility ✅

Off the clock @ Cole 🤸

This weekend, our Sr. Project Manager, Henry traded drawings for drumsticks at the Treefort Music Fest 🥁

We’re a tight-knit team that values what happens outside the office just as much as what happens inside it. Supporting each other’s passions, whether that’s music, cooking, travel, or time with family! This is a big part of who we are.

Good design comes from people who are inspired, connected, and genuinely enjoy what they do. 🌀

A new chapter for learning in the Shoshone Bannock Tribes community, Chief Tahgee Elementary Academy was designed to give students a space that truly supports them. Moving from temporary modulars into a permanent, thoughtfully designed space creates real opportunity for students to learn, grow, and connect.

With a fixed $4M federal grant, our team got creative, delivering a 20,000+ SF campus serving students from Special Education through 7th grade, all while staying on budget.

Projects like this don’t happen without strong partnerships, and we’re proud to have been part of it.
