design recognition

While satisfied, repeat clients will probably always represent our highest accolade, it is gratifying to also periodically receive kudos from our peers and the public. This year we received the "Best Design-Build Project" award from the General Building Contractors Association and our thirteenO1 restaurant+bar project received a design excellence award from the Society of American Registered Architects. Also, our gallery received the PGN 'Pink Penny Award' for “Best place to appreciate fringe art”.  In 2007 our studio and gallery received an Honor Award from the Philadelphia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects and we received the Philadelphia Citypaper Readers Choice Award under category of “Best Art Gallery”. The East Building of the Chemical Heritage Foundation, received both an Award of Merit from the Philadelphia Chapter of the AIA and the Best Institutional Project construction excellence award from the General Building Contractors Association.
