Our entire team spent an exciting two days connecting with hundreds of cutting edge users of Building Information Management (BIM) software. We've chosen Graphisoft's ArchiCAD since the firm's inception because it allows us to generate 3D imagery and capture project data while we design.

Highlights of the conference include new ways to connect the office with mobile information that benefits our client and contractor relationships. Answering a construction question in the field by looking at a model together ensures better communication. Walking a client through a conceptual model is a powerful way to involve them in the vision for a project. Exciting new virtual reality (VR) options use gaming technology to allow clients to fully experience and architectural space in the near future.

Family Navigation Center Wins ULI Nevada Catalytic Place Award We’re proud to share that the Family Navigation Center has been honored with the 2025 ULI Nevada Placemaking Award for Excellence in the Catalytic Place category. This recognition celebrates projects that spark meaningful community transformation — and this center is doing exactly that. The award was accepted by Marisa Cervantes, Executive Director of Family Promise of Las Vegas, as she thanked everyone on the team for their dedication to this project. As the first facility of its kind in Southern Nevada, the Family Navigation Center fills a critical gap for families experiencing homelessness. Designed with dignity, healing, and stability at the forefront, it brings together transitional housing, supportive services, job readiness resources, and community partnerships under one roof. From early concept through completion, this project was shaped by collaboration and trust. Sparkflight Studios stood alongside Family Pro...
WYLEES Creates Learning Community from Former Call Center Sparkflight Studios was proud to join in celebrating the grand opening of WYLEES this fall. Anne Johnson attended on behalf of our team and was especially excited to see this milestone realized—having known Mike Taack since 2021 and watching his vision evolve from an early charter concept with Opportunity 180 to a fully established school now opening its doors. This project is a powerful example of what thoughtful adaptive reuse can achieve. Transforming an abandoned call center at the Boulevard Mall into a vibrant, student-focused learning environment demonstrates how existing buildings can be reimagined to serve the community in new ways while also reducing carbon footprint. Supporting innovative, mission-driven education projects like this is exactly the kind of work we value at Sparkflight Studios. Charter schools offer unique opportunities to design flexible, student-centered spaces that r...
Creativity connects us. Community grounds us. click image to watch our year in review video As the year comes to a close, we’re taking a moment to pause and reflect. This year marked a meaningful chapter for Sparkflight Studios—from moving into our new office and completing a rebrand, to growing thoughtfully while investing in our people, systems, and community impact. We celebrated the Grand Opening of the Family Navigation Center —recently honored with the ULI Placemaking Award for Catalytic Place —and began construction on the 100-unit Janice Brooks Bay housing project . Work like this reminds us why purpose-driven design matters. None of it happens without an exceptional team—local, global, and contract collaborators—who continue to elevate how we work, communicate, and deliver better outcomes together. Looking ahead with gratitude, momentum, and excitement for what we’ll build next. Warmly, Sparkflight Studios
