Guests toured the museum on site and attended a presentation by former GSA chief architect Edward A. Feiner, FAIA, that underscored the value of good architecture in society.Following are highlights of some of the residential projects that received awards:

Corvasce/Goldstein Residence, Washington, DC
Award of Excellence, Residential Architecture Robert M. Gurney, FAIA, Alexandria, Virginia Photography: Anice Hoachlander

“There exists a certain politeness about the connections between the various forms. Vertical planes meet horizontal landscape reverently; the pool merges beautifully with surroundings. This project shows the strongest integration with the site of all that we’ve seen.”—Jury comments

Adams Row, Washington, DC
Award of Merit, Residential Architecture Hickok Cole Architects, Washington, DC Photography: Prakash Patel

“Adams Row has a nicely controlled rhythm and the organization of traditional townhomes, but a traditionally scaled vocabulary is updated through the use of double-height spaces. One’s individual sense of ownership is skillfully supported by the design solution.”—Jury comments

BTR, Bethesda, Maryland
Award of Merit, Residential Architecture David Jameson Architect, Alexandria, Virginia Photography: Paul Warchol and Anice Hoachlander

“Deceptively simple and restrained, this is nonetheless a powerful design statement. The copper-clad form hovers above the landscape, allowing a completely glass-enclosed living space to feel private beneath it. Very cleanly detailed throughout.”—Jury comments

McCoy Bathroom, Alexandria, Virginiar
Kitten Herlong Award for Associates, Award of Excellence Clint Larkan, Associate AIA, Alexandria, Virginia.

“This impressive solution creatively thinks outside the box of accessible design—the fact that this is a handicap bathroom is secondary. From the wonderful manipulation of planes to the excellent texture and material choices, everything here is done very elegantly.”—Jury comments
