Something is shaping up.

Humbled to have been included on 2 talented design teams and AIA East Bay award winners for Half Moon Bay Library and Sonoma Academy. #landscapearchitecture https://aiaeb.org/2020-design-award-winners/

We are proud to announce that the Half Moon Bay Library won the award for of Design Excellence in Energy and Economy at the 2020 AIA East Bay Awards. This is a ...wonderful recognition by our local AIA chapter, and we share this award with Half Moon Bay Library San Mateo County Libraries and the City of Half Moon Bay. From the judges: Crisp detailing and an exposed playful structure in the large, well-sited reading room avoid cliché and create welcoming expansive public rooms. There is a clarity and rigor to the layout and structure of the building, but it doesn’t take itself too seriously. There are warm materials that provide a human scale and touch, and playful gestures in signage and window placements. The openness and light quality are quite nice, and it achieves all of this while achieving the highest level of sustainable design and energy efficiency. Simply an excellent civic project, we need more like this.

Even a pandemic cannot stop our annual pumpkin carving contest. #landscapearchitecture
