Alamosa Town Center Article

Our project made the City paper again, with a longer front page article this time. Check it out here!

Alamosa Town Hall Center

Our proposal for the Alamosa Town Hall Center will be put to the vote on September 2nd! The city of Alamosa was planning a remodel to their current offices, but Darin Dolce of DFD Development proposes that instead they move into the former Kmart building. The Kmart building has significantly more parking, a more visible location and, unlike the remodel, won't require any of the historic buildings in town to be demolished.

As you can see by comparing this photo of the building to our poster, we are planning to completely change the appearance of the front. In addition to adding windows, brick and paint, a new grand entrance to a central atrium (complete with tower!) gives the building an old west train station theme.


Space inside the building would be sold in a "condo" arrangement to the city hall, the library and the police station and the remaining space in the building would be leased out for other office and retail uses.


The atrium at the core of the Town Center is designed to be a gathering space similar to an outdoor town square. Employees and visitors will be able to frequent the cafe and socialize.


LGA Studios worked with Darin Dolce to give the City of Alamosa a cost estimate along with the presentation drawings; we believe our project vs the remodel will save them enough money to make the move feasible. Our interior design partner, Lines and Designs, put together the presentation board.

With this project, we even made the local news!

Wild Ginger Thai

At the end of the year Wild Ginger Thai will be moving, and it's been our pleasure to help them with the design of their new location. They'll be going from their current 3,000 SF location in Colorado Springs to the 8,330 SF former Eagle Graphics building in Manitou.

Wild Ginger's new facility is in the walkable community of Manitou. Consistently awared "Number #1" by The Independent for Thai food in Colorado Springs, Wild Ginger already has a large group of local customers. Now they will receive more exposure to tourists as well.

Their new layout gives them much more kitchen space, a dining area seating 106, and even leaves a small rentable space (anyone want to work next door to yummy Thai cuisine?). Later on Wild Ginger hopes to add on a bar to the restaurant space.



Those of you that have seen the Eagle Graphics building will be glad to know that we'll be giving the front exterior a face-lift in this project's next phase, probably with an appropriate Thai theme.

Lines and Designs is joining us on this project to assist in space-planning and to lead in interior design. Economically, Wild Ginger will be reusing much of their equipment and furniture, including their red vinyl booths. However, by adding a great color palette, a well-thought out table arrangement and chic lighting and flooring, we think this project will be able to compete with Lines and Design's work in Conservation Hardware earlier this year.

Erosion Control

Site work has begun on one of our LEED-H projects - a new house in the Broadmoor area with a lovely courtyard.


Intentional construction procedures are part of building an eco-friendly house. One of these is erosion control, or in other words, preventing the natural soils around the property from being stripped away.

Some photos of the measures we've taken are below. Stayed tuned for more eco-friendly construction facts!
