Eddy House

OneStudio D+A was honored to work recently with Eddy House, a local organization committed to providing services for homeless and at-risk your in our community.

In 2023, Eddy House began construction on a 36-unit transitional living facility next door to their current facility. Eddy House acquired a third property, a residence built in the 1930s, adjacent to the other two properties. OneStudio D+A designed an interior remodel of the residential home that would transform it into staff offices to support the residences next door.

The remodel process prioritized the preservation of the home’s historical character and fine craftsman detailing. Existing built-ins, millwork, hardware, and light fixtures were salved and restored throughout.

The final design is a celebration of the home’s charming details, with selections that are durable and easy-to-maintain. Delicate patterned wallpaper selections were inspired by the home’s original floral patterned paper – complimented by bold coordinating paint colors. The finished product is a space that feels calm and warming, with nods to the property’s past.

PUBLIC SAFETY CENTER

The Reno Police Department successfully transitioned from its outdated 1947 station at 455 E. Second St. to a new, state-of-the-art facility located at 911 Kuenzli St., the former Reno Gazette-Journal building. This completed project encompasses approximately 144,500 square feet.

Originally built in 1980, the RGJ building underwent significant structural enhancements, including the addition of 300 tons of steel and 3,000 cubic yards of concrete, to meet the stringent requirements of a Category 4 essential facility, ensuring its operational continuity during natural disasters. This adaptive reuse approach minimized environmental impact while preserving the building’s historical integrity, effectively doubling the available space for the police department. The completed design features advanced technology infrastructure, private interview rooms, and flexible areas that accommodate the department’s growth and the needs of the community.

SAGE RIDGE SCHOOL

Sage Ridge, Reno’s premier private school for grades 3 through 12, is dedicated to cultivating successful, community-minded graduates, and recognizes the importance of a state-of-the-art gymnasium and fitness center in achieving this mission. The new 24,000 square-foot facility serves as a versatile space for the entire student body, accommodating everything from basketball games to robotics competitions.

Designed with student athletes in mind, the fitness center includes dedicated training areas, complemented by modern locker rooms and offices for coaching staff. A newly constructed concourse enhances the space, providing overflow areas during events and inviting lounge spots that offer stunning views throughout the school day. The material selection strikes a harmonious balance between durability and timeless style, while large wall graphics create dynamic focal points that enliven the environment. Ultimately, this facility emerges as a distinct hub for the campus, blending functionality with efficiency to support the diverse needs of Sage Ridge students.

TMCC VET TECH

The Vet Tech program at Truckee Meadows Community College underwent a significant transformation with the consolidation of its clinical, laboratory, and classroom spaces into a cohesive off-campus facility designed by OneStudio, formerly MBA Architecture + Interior Design. This approximately 5,800 square-foot facility not only enhances functionality for pet care but also serves as an effective learning environment for students.

OneStudio skillfully created a distinct identity for the Vet Tech program while integrating the TMCC brand within a building that accommodates private businesses and other college programs. The design prioritizes safety and security for both staff and students while ensuring accessibility for studying and class preparation. Collaborating closely with Vet Tech staff, OneStudio developed large, flexible spaces that anticipate the program’s future growth. The design incorporates durable and aesthetically pleasing materials, all while adhering to tight budget constraints, ensuring a vibrant and practical space for education and animal care.

SIERRA VETERINARY SPECIALISTS

The new 19,500 square-foot facility for Sierra Veterinary Specialists is a state-of-the-art center designed to accommodate their preventative, emergency, and rehabilitation services. Emphasizing efficiency and modernization, the facility incorporates sustainable materials to ensure a clean and comfortable environment for both pet owners and their pets.
