Brian Head’s new owners wanted to make a clear statement that “Under New Management” is a sign of change for the better. The resort’s two very tired base lodges provided the perfect means. 3DS was brought in to completely overhaul both facilities. We started with Giant Steps, a 2-level building with dining downstairs and a …
Everything in the 4848 Store is brand new, but everything looks old. This retail ski shop, in Snowshoe, West Virginia, is a perfect example of what we call our “Store-In-A-Box” concept. It was designed and built entirely by 3DS, from floor to ceiling, including all branding. It looks and feels like a warm, rustic …

Seldom in 3DS’s work have contrasting elements been so dramatically juxtaposed as in this bold Aspen sales center.

Even though it’s a …

Renovating two full floors in …
On Turks & Caicos Island in the exotic West Indies,“Veranda”, a high-end tropical resort, required an equally luxurious outdoor sales centre.

The Snowshed Lodge food court was an extremely tired facility in a cramped, claustrophobic space, with an inefficient use of space. In this full design/build, 3DS transformed the cafeteria by turning it inside out and arranging food kiosks around the periphery.
