PROJECT NAME: South Reno Department of Motor Vehicles ARCHITECT: H+K Architects CATEGORY: Institutional/Civic LOCATION: Reno, Nevada “In an attempt to design a building typology that historically has been ‘function over form,’ the design team was successful in delivering a spatial experience that not only improves the functional utility of the one it replaced but offers patrons and employees a newly relaxed and naturally daylit experience that brings the values of great design to this historically challenging typology.” Going to the DMV has traditionally been regarded as a trying experience. The daylighting for visitors and extensive programmatic consideration made for employees dare tomorrow’s designs to unapologetically reach past pre-convinced programmatic notions and redefine “typical” space needs. b 2021 AIA Nevada Juror’s Commentary
