Since expanding a new office and production facility to Reno in 2012, CustomInk (an online T-shirt design and printing company) quickly outgrew their space and were looking for a new home. OneStudio D+A (formerly OneStudio D+A) was hired to convert an existing 2-story office building into a functional and inspiring workplace. Daylighting, comfort, and communication were priorities for CustomInk, a company that has a culture of valuing the well-being of their team members. Two large openings were created through the existing slab to create new open stairways and to provide a physical and visual connection between the  floors. The openings also maximized daylight to internal  first  floor spaces. The office also includes unique spaces like a dining cafe, game room, lounge spaces, and a variety of meeting spaces and conference rooms.

The intent of the Dolan Lexus Dealership was to change the way people think about buying a new car. The flagship store in Reno is a true collaboration between OneStudio D+A, formerly MBA Architecture + Interior Design, the Dolan Auto Group and Clark/Sullivan Construction.

The shared vision was to offer the finest customer experience by providing amenities such as a coffee bar, lounge areas, a business center, and a concierge. These elements were meant to create an ambiance akin to a luxury hotel. Additionally, a rain curtain water feature, sculptural chandelier, monumental staircase and a modern fireplace were signature elements meant to enhance the opulent atmosphere. On the second floor, a demonstration showroom and outdoor terrace can be used for private functions and community events.

The dealership maintains 36 service bays, including 4 lube pits, a car wash, and three detailing bays. A great deal of planning was put into the number and location of the various spaces to provide a productive flow of services and to minimize customer wait times. This comprehensive facility also includes back-of-house spaces, such as a training room, conference room, break room, photo room and MDF data center.

Located on the corner of two major highways in the middle of Carson City, Nevada, a full exterior renovation brings this financial institution up-to date and caters to a fresh demographic. OneStudio D+A, formerly MBA Architecture + Interior Design, helped to create a clean, contemporary aesthetic that better fit the design of Mutual of Omaha’s growing vision for their business model and facilities.

The existing building hovered darkly with a hat that flattened the volume. Through the use of contrasting materials, in both color and texture, the building is brightened up and becomes more inviting. The entrances were framed out and covered by awnings that make them more prominent. New landscaping complements the building, providing softness, color, and movement against the architectural background.
