American Institute of Architects (AIA) Design Award - Nevada

The AIA Nevada Design Awards Program recognizes projects of exceptional architectural distinction that have been commissioned. Excellence in Design embraces the ecological, economic, and social circumstances of a project as well as the integration of the highest environmental and sustainable design standards with quality design execution.

Presented with a small single-story 1,200 sf office space within an existing building, the DJC LTD team found that hidden above an existing acoustical ceiling tile was a volume of space that could be activated. This extra volume allowed the design team to expand the interior ceiling height (doubling the existing condition) while increasing the square footage of the office. The result is a dramatic transformation of space punctuated by luxurious but sustainable finishes, and tailored detailing.

 

The jurors said..."This proposed interior renovation is wonderfully conceived and detailed, with a cohesive material and color palette.
