Congratulations to this year’s winners!
A fantastic time was had by all attendees of this year’s Ceremony at Mass Beverly!
Residential design is the purview of a wide array of practices. From young offices developing their own design language to established firms refining a sensibility or investigating new ideas. Celebrating these firms and projects are the AIA|LA Residential Architecture Awards (RAA’s). This inclusive awards program invites work at all scales from firms of all sizes. Projects remain in the category they were submitted in and are compared to work of like scale.
