Our Vision for Downtown Los Alamos
Create a Community Center

MOSAIC Architectural Solutions is a local firm with principal architects from Los Alamos and
Espanola. We have a vested interest in how architectural decisions impact our community. The following vision is the result of a brainstorming session initiated by our staff in response to the county's request for input. While we don't intend all aspects to be incorporated into a master plan, we believe that the concepts are valid and should be considered.
