Building systems, structures, and sites in harmony with surrounding ecosystems

We are inspired by Indigenous tradition to care for the earth and its resources

Launched in January 2021 as a mechanical, electrical, and plumbing engineering (MEP) firm, Bodwé Steelhead Engineering was created to partner closely with the architecture practices and to keep more revenue at home serving our mission and the Pokagon Band. From the beginning, we’ve been vocal advocates for both energy efficiency and environmental sustainability in our building systems design, including viable passive and active renewable opportunities such as wind, solar, and water capture to harness the natural resources within creation. Today, we are bringing this same passion to architecture and engineering (AE) projects we are leading for clients such as the Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA) and Veterans Health Administration (VHA).
