PROJECT DESCRIPTION

Owner: Southern Ute Indian Tribe

Area: 52,000 sf

Completion Date: 2004

Commissioned by the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, the building is a state-of-the-art, fully-finished, office building.  The three-story structure is fronted by a circular drive that is landscaped with native trees and grasses.  Designed to gently step into the hill, its concave shape creates a sheltered outdoor space. 

 The building’s interior houses offices for three tribal departments, conference rooms, cutting-edge audio-visual and fiber optic equipment, and data storage facilities. 

Building offices radiate from the light-filled courtyard that rises three-and-a-half stories to the roof.  Cherry wood accents and etched glass panels accentuate the elegance of this building.*

 *This project was undertaken when Tom Obermeier was the CEO of OZ Architecture.  Aleksandr Sheykhet served as Project Manager.
