2024 Honor Award
Christ Church Anglican
Midland, TX
Rhotenberry Wellen Architects
An Anglican congregation required new worship facilities as a continued development of a comprehensive campus master plan. 10 years prior, the new congregation purchased 16 acres of land and built a building that would serve as temporary worship space until a permanent space was constructed. This project was programmed to be an addition to the existing building, and includes a new worship sanctuary serving 280 people, auxiliary spaces for the sanctuary, as well as site improvements including a new bell tower, shade structures, and a plaza to the west of the sanctuary.


2024 Honor Award
Cosmic Saltillo

Located in the East Cesar Chavez neighborhood, two industrial buildings were constructed in the early 1900s and used by Texas Company, or Texaco, to hold petroleum products delivered by railcars and dispensed in trucks throughout Austin. Today, the buildings transform into a second location for a city favorite, Cosmic Coffee & Beer, all while maintaining the history, grit, and added graffiti over the course of the last century.
