EL PASO, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Stonewall Studios has welcomed MNK Architects as the newest addition to its growing network of design studios. Based in El Paso, TX, MNK is recognized for its strength in architectural design, planning, and community-driven work.

Since its founding in 1985, MNK Architects has become one of the most established locally owned firms in the El Paso region, delivering impactful projects across the Southwest. Its portfolio spans education, healthcare, civic, commercial, and municipal sectors, reflecting a commitment to thoughtful design and lasting client partnerships.

“MNK Architects has built an exceptional reputation in their region, and we’re excited to have them join Stonewall Studios,” said Ben Moody, Co-Founder of Stonewall Studios. “Their focus on community-centered design and long-standing client relationships makes them a strong fit for how we’re building the platform.”

With the addition of MNK Architects, Stonewall Studios continues to broaden its geographic reach and deepen its capabilities across key markets.

“For over 40 years, MNK has been part of El Paso’s growth. Joining Stonewall Studios is about expanding our reach, not changing who we are. My commitment to this community has always been non-negotiable. We hire local, we build local, and we invest local,” said Renée Jiménez, Studio Leader and Principal Architect. “This partnership allows our team to stay focused on our clients and the quality of our work, while Stonewall supports the business operations behind the scenes.
