OGO Studios has been doing site research that has led to the discovery of more usable spaces around the site. They have created a proposal that will add green spaces and parking to the site and its surrounding neighborhoods. This new proposal will tie the Magoffin district to the south and the site together while reclaiming property's that will be left abandoned when the rail yard is relocated.

OGO Studios had another collaborative review this week and presented some conceptual renderings of their structures. Here's a look at some of their designs.

OGO Studios and Ikonyk have been hard at work integrating their ideas into the site layout. Creative site director Kevin Gold has been holding meetings with both teams to look at each designers concept and implement them into his proposed scheme of mapping.  Here is the proposal that was given at the first collaborative review this week.

OGO Studios desinger Justin Olguin has been hard at work coming up with new and innovative ideas for the worship center. Here are a few renderings of his conceptual ideas.

OGO Studios took another visit to the site to explore the surrounding areas. The team also took a trip to the downtown El Paso Sun Metro transit hub. The transit hub designer was able to collect some valuable information after a guided tour of the facility and is now implementing the solutions into their design.

OGO Studios would like to congratulate Kevin Gold on his winning proposal for the site design and position as creative design director for the remainder of the project!

More details to come on the new layout and design in the next few weeks.
