Concordia reimagines urban living by transforming the Papago Golf Course into a water-conscious, ecologically integrated community. Unlike traditional studio projects, there was no predefined brief—only the challenge of addressing Arizona’s pressing water crisis through innovative design.
By merging residential spaces with riparian preserves and water treatment infrastructure, the project redefines urban amenities while tackling water scarcity. Utilizing MRB wastewater treatment, passive cooling, and resilient landscaping, Concordia creates self-sustaining environments that restore natural ecosystems, enhance biodiversity, and mitigate the urban heat island effect. This visionary development blurs the line

The Papago Golf Course was reconfigured into an executive 9-hole layout, reducing water use while preserving recreation. This freed land allowed for homes to be embedded within 9-foot earthen mounds, providing natural thermal cooling and minimizing reliance on mechanical systems.
By wedging homes into the terrain, the design seamlessly integrates with newly formed riparian corridors, which function as biodiversity zones and passive water treatment systems. This approach leverages topography and MRBtreated water to create a self-sustaining, climate-responsive community, redefining sustainable desert living.

The NAU Music School is an exceptional example of adaptive reuse done right. Its ultimate goal is to break through traditional barriers, fusing different parts into a cohesive whole, and establishing itself as the world’s premier location for Broadway plays on tour. Our concept revolved around creating an indescribable atmosphere- a story interwoven with inventive and inspiring elements. Fundamentally, our design philosophy was born out of the deep idea of Frisson, which can be commonly referred to as the tingling feeling in one’s spine, is a feeling that permeates every aspect of our project.
