Awards

Projects that win design awards say something more than good design. They say the collaboration between owner and architect was good if not great. Good architecture – good design – is never created by the architect alone.

While we are appreciative of the recognition, we don’t design with the intent to win awards. The best reward will always be to meet the goals of each and every client.
