It was quite a night!

4

the number of design awards we received in one night

from the

American Institutes of Architects Northern Virginia Chapter

Almost embarrassing… but honestly, we’re just proud. We worked hard to get these projects completed—and we’re thrilled to share that our efforts were recognized at the 2025 AIA Northern Virginia Design Awards.

On June 26th, we gathered with colleagues and friends at the George Washington Masonic National Memorial to celebrate both the power of design and the 50th Anniversary of the AIA Northern Virginia Chapter. We’re honored (and yes, a little giddy) that several of our projects across multiple categories were recognized among the best in the region.
