About

Cuningham is an architecture and design partner for organizations investing in complex, high-stakes built environments. Founded in 1968 by John Cuningham, the firm has spent nearly six decades refining its approach to design, developing a model that is highly inclusive and incorporates the diverse perspectives needed to create spaces that truly serve their communities. Across a broad spectrum of sectors including healthcare, hospitality, gaming, education, and cultural institutions, Cuningham combines pragmatic creativity with disciplined execution to move projects confidently from vision to reality. The firm works closely with partners to manage complexity, reduce risk, and support grounded decision-making throughout every phase of a project. Through inventive, research-informed design, they respond to real-world constraints while elevating everyday experiences. With over 270 employees across offices in Minneapolis, Los Angeles, Denver, Phoenix, and Las Vegas, Cuningham has earned a nationally recognized reputation for delivering architecture and design that is bold in vision, precise in execution, and built to deliver enduring value for organizations and the communities they serve. The firm is driven by a commitment to what they call "selfless design" - creating spaces built for the people who use them, not for the ego of the designer.
