Pendaries Community Center

Next to Rociada, New Mexico, there is a beautiful village known as the Pendaries Village. It splits into two separate communities, Pendaries East and West. There are around 180 residents, including 78 full-time residents, 102 parttime residents, and several rental properties.

In addition to abundant wildlife, Pendaries residents and visitors enjoy an active outdoor lifestyle, including a challenging tree-lined 18-hole public golf course at a high elevation. Golfers play in the crisp, clear air at 7,500 to 8,000 feet elevation, with breathtaking views of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and Rociada Valley.

Other outdoor activities include hiking trails, horseshoes, tether ball, ping pong, and a paved basketball court, all free for Pendaries residents and guests.

The 18-hole mountain golf course winds through the former ranch at 7,500 to 8,000 feet elevation with breathtaking views of the Sangre De Cristo Mountains and Rociada Valley.

Pendaries restaurant and bar was a place for lodge guests, golfers, home owners, and residents to enjoy great food, drinks, and fellowship.

My resilient plan for the community center in response to the fire and the floods is to design a building that is sustainable, adaptable, accessible, inclusive, fire and flood resilient, and outdoor recreation.
