2025 Honor Award
Pullman Market
San Antonio, TX
Clayton Korte
"Pullman Market is a showcase for the thoughtful and tasteful adaptive reuse of existing buildings. The design not only preserves but also celebrates the original materials in moments of contrast and complement to the new.... The result is a tactile, multi-sensory spacial experience of intimacy and fluid-indoor connections, discovery and joy."
—Pavlina Illieva


2025 Honor Award
Offbeat
Austin, TX
Nick Deaver Jes Deaver Architecture
"This project excels on many fronts, from its integration of the existing bungalow to the impeccably executed detailing, but what stood out to me was the precision-like sensitivity to the site....Viewing only interior photos, one might assume the home is sited on a rural forested lot rather than an urban neighborhood in the heart of one of Texas largest cities."
—Stuart Brummett


2025 Honor Award
ELLORE SENIOR LIVING
Santa Clara, CA
Steinberg Hart
"Its hard not to notice the rigor of detail and craft in this one - both inside and out. Moreso, the project sets a precedent for multi-generational living. I really enjoy seeing the mix of personalized, health-centric amenities, the retail-forward programming and the thoughtful outdoor space."
—Micah Land


2025 Merit Award
DUKES REDO
Castle Hills, TX
Craig McMahon Architects, Inc.
"The thoughtful and skillful renovation of this mid-century residence excels in capturing the spirit of the original home while instilling contemporary character and articulation throughout."
—Pavlina Illieva


2025 Merit Award
THE COMPASS SCHOOL OF TEXAS
Dallas, TX
Hall Architecture Studio
"We chose to recognize this unbuilt project for its unique approach to the school archetype and the degree to which the applicant developed the program to complement the immersive teaching philosophy. ... the quality of the interior spaces and the integration of light deep within the multistory building contributes to the goal of integrating nature into the structure."
—Stuart Brummett


2025 Merit Award
THE QUAD
Dallas, TX
Omniplan
