NOVUS Architecture relocates to Soho Lofts
NOVUS Architecture, a locally owned and award-winning architecture and design firm that has been in downtown Las Vegas for more than a decade, celebrated its relocation into a larger office space at Soho Lofts in the Arts District on Oct. 17. Those in attendance included Las Vegas Mayor Carolyn G. Goodman, Las Vegas City Councilwoman Olivia Diaz, executives from Cherry Development, owner of Soho Lofts; NOVUS’ longtime clients and neighboring business owners.
NOVUS Architecture moved into a 2,300-square-foot space at Soho Lofts to give the firm more space for collaboration with clients and to support the growth of its team.
Owned by Cherry Development, Soho Lofts is a 17-story high-rise condominium tower that opened in 2006 as the first building in downtown Las Vegas to offer New York City-style loft design with retail/office space on the ground floor. The space that NOVUS Architecture occupies had previously been utilized for various pop-up stores and art galleries. Cherry Development executives see the opening of NOVUS Architecture’s office at Soho Lofts as an example of the growing demand for long-term lease options for creative and flexible office space in the Las Vegas Arts District.
Focused on building community, NOVUS Architecture creates sustainable and dynamic live, work, play, learning and healing environments sensitive to time and place with a fundamental focus on design excellence.
The firm recently completed the design of the new Ronald McDonald House, which is scheduled to break ground by the end of the year. In 2020, the firm won an AIA Nevada Merit Award in the Unbuilt Category for the new 25,000-square-foot Core Academy Resource Center that serves under-resourced students in sixth through 12th grades. In 2019, the firm won the Mayor’s Urban Design Award for the renovation of a 35,000-square-foot space to create a new downtown corporate headquarters for Office 1. Registered in 10 states, NOVUS Architecture has also designed the interiors of various commercial office spaces and restaurants downtown and on the Strip.
