Design + Engineering + Infrastructure

Overview:

Circa81 Design integrates Indigenous values, modern engineering, and sustainable design to shape environments that honor both land and lineage. We partner with Tribal Nations, municipalities, and federal agencies to deliver projects rooted in respect for culture, environment, and future generations.

Full-Service Interior Design (Workplace Solutions)

Designing spaces that celebrate culture, collaboration, and functionality. Our interiors reflect identity  from government offices and health clinics to education and cultural centers with attention to materials, flow, and storytelling through design.

Land Planning

Land is sacred. Our planning philosophy blends modern development practices with cultural preservation, ecological balance, and ancestral respect. We work alongside Tribal governments and community stakeholders to create master plans, site layouts, and land-use strategies that protect heritage while supporting economic growth.

Specialty areas:

• Tribal master planning

• Environmental and cultural resource preservation

• Sustainable site design and zoning

• Feasibility and impact studies

Structural Engineering

Designing resilient structures that stand the test of time from community buildings to essential infrastructure while integrating traditional architectural elements and sustainable materials where possible.

MEP Engineering (Mechanical, Electrical & Plumbing)

Delivering efficient systems that reduce environmental impact and operational costs. Our designs incorporate renewable technologies, water reuse systems, and adaptable infrastructure for future expansion.

Environmental Engineering

Protecting natural resources through advanced water management, remediation, and environmental compliance services. Our team understands the balance between development and stewardship supporting Tribal Nations in protecting sacred lands and waters.

Transportation & Infrastructure Engineering

Creating safe, connected systems that enhance mobility while preserving natural landscapes and historical corridors. Our designs support Tribal and rural communities with long-term resilience in mind.

Water & Wastewater Engineering

Water is life. We design infrastructure that ensures access, quality, and conservation — supporting community health and environmental integrity through sustainable treatment, storage, and distribution systems.

Circa81 Design is committed to designing with purpose, protecting what matters most  the land, the people, and the stories that live between them.
