awards

We strive to serve our clients, their stakeholders, and the communities where our buildings are built.

The accolades that we’re most proud of are the ones that highlight our design and problem-solving skills, the ones that focus on a new or rehabilitated building as part of its surroundings, and the ones that recognize that our clients’ work can do so much to anchor, support, and elevate a community.
