Zion Canyon Hot Springs
Arco Murray, World Springs
In collaboration with Arco Murray and World Springs, our team played a key role in a multi-building project for a new hot springs resort just outside of Zion National Park in LaVerkin, Utah. Encompassing 38,150 square feet across four buildings, our services extended from concept design through construction administration. The architectural vision included a main entry, office and locker room building, a food and beverage facility for the outdoor venue, and two mechanical support buildings. Designed to seamlessly integrate into the arid hillside surroundings, the structures provide a unique and relaxing experience. Our contribution covered architecture, interior design, and the meticulous execution of construction documents, ensuring a successful realization of this distinctive hot springs resort.
Omni Top Tracer
Arco Murray
Partnering with Arco Murray, we undertook a design/build project for Omni Orlando Resort at ChampionsGate in the heart of central Florida. The venture involved renovating an existing golf facility and adding a 7,000 square foot entertainment building. This expansion included open seating, a covered patio, and an indoor/outdoor bar. A connecting teeline, equipped with TopTracer technology, caters to both professional and amateur golfers. Our services encompassed the production of construction documents and the seamless execution of construction administration for this 13,700 square foot project in the vibrant locale of central Florida.
Blue Jeans Golf
Blue Jeans Golf
Our collaboration with Blue Jeans Golf began with the transformation of driving ranges into Golf Lite Ranch, a novel concept welcoming both golfers and non-golfers. Following the success of the Golf Quest renovation in Connecticut, we expanded this unique ambiance to Dallas and Kansas City. Each facility, sharing the Golf Lite Ranch feel and Toptracer technology, offers distinct amenities such as mini-golf and vibe bays tailored to the location. As a bridge between entertainment golf and traditional experiences, Golf Lite Ranch provides a casual, inclusive environment with offerings like food, drinks, private classes, and a family-friendly atmosphere. Our services, evolving with BJG's growth, covered concept design, schematic design, design development, and construction administration. From brand and program development to the use of shipping containers for versatile purposes, each aspect focused on enhancing the customer journey. The inviting patio, characterized by crushed granite ground cover and diverse seating options, epitomizes the relaxed, fun, and inclusive atmosphere of Golf Lite Ranch—a place for everyone to belong, chill, and enjoy a less formal golfing experience.
Smash Park
Smash Park
Our journey with Smash Park began by understanding the brand identity, translating it into a guiding narrative for the design process—from concept to visuals. In collaboration with passionate clients, we created a vibrant, inclusive space featuring outdoor pickleball courts, courtyard games, and a covered patio with diverse seating. Indoors, we incorporated four pickleball courts, an arcade, axe throwing, duckpin bowling, and a private paddle club for adults, complete with a DJ booth, karaoke room, and versatile event space. Balancing creativity with cost-effectiveness, we delivered a budget-friendly design that captures the dynamic synergy between pop art and Smash Park's unique identity, ensuring a uniqueness within pickleball culture.

Worldsprings is a recreational wellness and social experience mineral spa at the Grandscape in Colony, TX. We enjoyed leading all aspects of architecture for this nine-acre project. Our Hospitality + Entertainment Team provided support for concept design, schematic design, design development, and construction documents for the buildings on the property. The Matchstick process uncovered patron needs and expectations that led to experiential features throughout the building including a food and beverage component, spa with treatment rooms, retail spaces, and a luxurious locker room. Our design team was mindful of the need for comfortable and efficient flow in each space and fulfilled the vision of a lodge-like, authentic natural hot springs experience.

HFA was honored to lead the concept design for Home Run Dugout in Katy, TX. The 40,000-square-foot sports and entertainment complex includes 12 simulated hitting bays, a music stage, and a Wiffle Ball field. Our Hospitality + Entertainment Team used the Matchstick process throughout concept design, schematic design, design development, and construction administration. The collaborative process with the client led to spaces where the end-user feels comfortable and engaged with sports amenities throughout the facility that appeals to patrons looking for a destination experience, as well as those wanting a neighborhood feel. Our team was serious about the mission to make anyone at Home Run Dugout feel like they can hit a home run.
