The Amador is a project unique to the City of Las Cruces. As the gateway to the downtown area, the project aims to provide a venue for tourists and locals alike to enjoy food, drinks, music and more all at one location. The Amador project is comprised of two buildings. The main 14,176 sf building includes a large restaurant, a martini bar, a skybar and a taproom. The facility provides a much needed gathering hub for the city and aims to entice visitors of all ages to gather together in one location. The sky bar is not only the only sky bar in the city, but it also overlooks a large courtyard with vibrant landscaping and performance stage. As one of the largest performance venues the city has to offer, the Amador is sure to become one of the most popular gathering spots in the city. The second building of the project is the city’s Convention & Visitor’s Bureau, “Visit Las Cruces.” The facility houses CVB staff and provides information to out of town travelers about all the wonderful sites and activities the City of Las Cruces has to offer. The new CVB lobby embraces the view to the Oregon Mountains with a double-height, slanted curtain wall glazing system. The CVB is approximately 5,968 square feet, and also serves as the gang-restroom and storage for the main building.

The lush planting and unique design details in this contemporary residential garden offer a fresh, bold aesthetic within a suburban neighbourhood. Frame views and thoughtful transitions from one outdoor space to the next, creat strong connections between the indoor and outdoor spaces. The materials and colours used also provide a strong integration with the design language of the house and many unique details contribute to the bold contemporary aesthetic. A mix of ground covers and mid-height plants provide a layered base with taller plants occasionally poking through to add interest and punctuation. The overall effect of the lush plantings, contrasted with clean lines of wood, concrete and metal elements is a design that is at once bold and innovative, but – as clusters of daisies graze the metal screens - also delicate and at times playful.

The primary goal for this project was to craft a modernist derivation of pueblo architecture. Set into a heavily laden boulder hillside, the design also reflects the nature of the stacked boulder formations. The site, located near local landmark Pinnacle Peak, offered breathtaking views which were largely upward, making proximity an issue. Maintaining southwest fenestration protection and maximizing views created the primary design constraint. The views are maximized with careful orientation, exacting overhangs, and wing wall locations. The overhangs intertwine and undulate with alternating materials stacking to reinforce the boulder strewn backdrop. The elegant material palette and siting allow for great harmony with the native desert. The Elegant Modern at Estancia was the collaboration of many of the Valley's finest luxury home specialists. Interiors guru David Michael Miller contributed elegance and refinement in every detail. Landscape architect Russ Greey of Greey | Pickett contributed a landscape design that not only complimented the architecture, but nestled into the surrounding desert as if always a part of it. And contractor Manship Builders -- Jim Manship and project manager Mark Laidlaw -- brought precision and skill to the construction of what architect C.P. Drewett described as "a watch."
