Sited just below the historic Roth Hill in Natchez MS,

Magnolia Bluffs Casino was built over the Mississippi
River to comply with State’s strict gaming regulations.
The project is supported on nearly fifty steel piles giving
patrons the feeling that they are floating on the river
providing a real connection to the site often overlooked
in typical casino designs.

Using rustic materials and local vernacular, EV&A

Architects collaborated with the Natchez Historical
Society to recreate an early 20th century cedar mill that
was located here nearly a century ago. A municipal
pedestrian river walk winds itself around the building’s
riverside perimeter providing access to the casino’s
“Back-Porch” amenities complete with a fire pit and
stunning views of the Mississippi and her majestic
sunsets.

With the success of the Mississippi Belle II, Wild Rose

Entertainment sought out to build a premier “Vegas

land based casino, the property features a 28,000 SF
casino, an appealingly themed restaurant/tavern, buffet,
60-room boutique hotel, and 15,000 SF event center.

Wild Rose Casino with its prairie-style aesthetics drew

inspiration from the architecture of the region in the early
20th century. Playing on the design elements from this
era such as flat or hipped roofs with broad overhanging
eaves, windows grouped in horizontal bands, and
horizontal lines that meld the building with the prairie
landscape, the design evokes a sense of place and
regional heritage.

Henderson, Nevada Size 7,500 SF Cost $1.7 MM

The area around Green Valley Pkwy. and Pebble Rd.
consists of several office buildings and low to medium

the neighborhood by providing an upscale dining
experience to both area residents and office workers.
The contemporary building vernacular, lighting systems,
color palette and materials used bring excitement to the
prominent corner of Pebble and Green Valley Parkway.

The design approach was centered around the idea of

how pizzas are traditionally prepared and cooked. Wood
elements were used on the walls around the bar to relate
to the wood used in the ovens while metal elements
relate to the iron grills used for barbecuing. Lastly, faux
stone walls (inside and out) reminisce the old stone
ovens that were historically used to cook pizza.

shades were used to diffuse light, and the use of
