Firm Office Building

The convert|11000|sqft|m2|-2|sing=on office of Tate Snyder Kimsey Architects is distinctive for its use of materials, color, and passive solar heating/cooling strategies. Built into the landscape, the building features a mezzanine level with a reception area and private offices and a large design studio on the lower level. The south façade is almost entirely glazed and is protected from the harsh summer sun by a roof overhang and series of light shelves. When architects have the freedom to design their own office buildings, the final products are usually worth noticing and the TSK Studio doesn't disappoint. This building has won three AIA Nevada Design Awards in the years 1997, 1996, and 1993.
