Recognition:
Many Architects seek out different sponsored award programs to submit their projects for recognition. We never submit our projects for recognition since we feel that a satisfied client is a reward in itself and many wish not to have their projects published for privacy reasons. In addition, award submittals involve considerable expenditure of money and time which is better utilized on our ongoing projects. Although few in number, we were approached by the following award sponsors no effort expended on our part:
- 1986 IES Edwin Guth Memorial Award - South Florida
- 1986 IES Edwin Guth Memorial Award – Regional U.S.A.
- 1987 CTDA Spectrum 1987 – Regional U.S.A.
- 1987 CTDA Spectrum 1987 – National Award
