New Mexico Best of 2007/City of Albuquerque Open Space Visitor Center

摘要

The 7,845 sq ft remodel and additions project occupies a 48-acre site adjoining the Rio Grande Bosque and the Piedras Marcadas Pueblo ruins site. The new 1.3 million dollars Visitor Center incorporated an existing residential compound of four Pueblo-style wood-frame buildings along with new additions. Design was kept in context with this Pueblo style and features wood trusses and framing covered with a stucco system. Exposed steel columns and beams are utilized at exterior locations, such as at portal structures. The existing ceramic tile floor remains, with new stained and polished concrete floors in the additions.
