Award Winner : Modtech

Architectural Excellence : To match the natural surroundings large logs are used as support columns for the roof covering the front porch area and dry stack stone decorates the exterior of the building. The site built pitched roof protects the building entrance from the weather and is covered with standing seam metal painted a color to compliment the neutral colors of the stone and stucco exterior. Side entries are accentuated by log posts forming an open canopy. Corners include traditional Southwestern building accents befitting the Navajo Nation. The front entrance utilizes a smaller module to add architectural interest.

Cost Energy Effectiveness : Due to the remote location of the building, modular construction was utilized saving time and contractor travel cost.

Technical Innovation : To compensate for the sloped site, the modular building was used in conjunction with a suspended concrete deck. This concrete deck provides a solid feel to the building without the need for expensive grading or fill. Entry to one side of the building is a grade level while the other side is several feet above grade.
The reception area includes a circular ceiling accent to match the custom cabinetry forming the receptionist area. Large glass panels are used to separate exercise areas. Impact absorbing ½” rubber flooring was used throughout workout area. In addition two cedar lined saunas are located in the building
