Playa Design Studio

We love seeing another property under construction!

Arts in the Sunset is a unique adaptive-reuse project located in Amarillo, TX. Sunset Center began its life as a regional shopping mall and is now literally hundreds of thousands of square feet dedicated to the interaction between art, artists, and the community. Spaces are dedicated to everything from art education, clay, blown glass, fine art studios, live music, and a weekly outdoor market. Playa Design Studio is proud to have played a part in this redevelopment and honored to work alongside this visionary board of directors.

Thanks to the AIA Amarillo for the 2025 Excellence in Design Award! 🟢
