GOLD AWARD
Recognizing “Best in Show” – Residential

GOLD / Residential
PROJECT  Clerestory House
LOCATION  Somerset, Maryland
ARCHITECT  Colleen Healey Architecture, LLC
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Colleen Healey, AIA
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  Llaveroes Services LLC / Abel A Canizalez
PHOTOGRAPHER  Brian Wetzel Photography

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Daylit and simple in form, Clerestory House is the renovation of an existing 1950’s split-level. A low-pitch roof was removed and replaced with a full elevation band of clerestory windows. Above the new windows, a new flat roof was added. Punctuated by skylights and providing a thick insulation package, this roof swap allowed for an open plan beneath, while the new clerestory enhances the interior’s natural lighting while maintaining its privacy to the street.

JURY 
“When the jury deliberated about which residential project was deserving of Gold, this was the first thought, and the jury was in complete consensus. It is amazing what a new hat will do for an old house. It is brilliant!” –Jeffrey Huber

JURY
“What is not to love about the community and program of this project? The depth and community resilience considerations, as well as sustainability are commendable. This was an easy selection for the jury and shows that even architecture that has to do a lot with a little can rise to the occasion. We are honored to bestow the 2023 PV Award to St. Elizabeths Shelter and encourage more of these community infrastructure projects that serve a critical role in building community.” –Jeffrey Huber

HONOR AWARD

HONOR
PROJECT  Pivoting
LOCATION  Bethesda, Maryland
ARCHITECT  MODE4 Architecture, PLLC
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Christopher Tucker, AIA, Principal/Owner; Kenneth López, Senior Architectural Associate
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  Square One Development Group, LLC / Steve Howard
PHOTOGRAPHER  StudioHDP / Anice Hoachlander, Architectural Photographer Photo by Hoachlander Davis Photography 

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The architect was tasked with designing an addition to one of the most recognizable modern residential projects in the DC metro area, designed by a renowned local architect. The addition’s program includes a carport and garage, a moss garden, the conversion of an existing garage into a new dining room, and a separate lower-level artist’s studio and spa.  The garden is the nexus between the original house, the dining room, and the carport. The program was a reaction to the pandemic, addressing the client's need for exterior social gathering spaces.

JURY
“A masterful blend of architecture and landscape architecture. It is like this was always there. Amazing what a small addition can do to redefine and elevate the space and place.” –Jeffrey Huber

HONOR
PROJECT  Performing Arts Center at Garrett College
LOCATION  McHenry, Maryland
ARCHITECT  DLR Group
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Monika Smith, AIA, LEED AP; Paul Westlake, FAIA, IIDA; Amy Dibner, AIA; Emma Hoppstock Munroe; Rich Hubacker, AIA, LEED AP; Mike Boco; Kathy Walbert, LEED AP; Jose Jordan, RID, IIDA; Maggie Chaffin, Associate IIDA
OWNER/CLIENT  Garrett College
CONTRACTOR  Leonard S. Fiore, Inc.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  Carroll Engineering | Claire Fishman, P.L.A., LEED Green Assoc.
PHOTOGRAPHER  Kevin G Reeves Photographer

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This flexible performance, education, and event venue fulfills a decades-long vision of the community to build a performing arts facility in Garrett County. Providing a gateway to the campus, the Performing Arts Center transforms an existing gymnasium into a 450-seat proscenium theater, adding a flexible recital hall as well as amenities for patrons, staff, students, and performers. The design links the campus with the community while implementing sustainable design strategies, targeting LEED Silver certification.

JURY
“The jury chose this project to be awarded based on the development team’s longtime effort to bring a cultural facility to the community. In addition, for being an adaptive reuse project and for site planning strategies. The new building form planning completes the receiving/arrival courtyard space. Placing the breakout and pre-function spaces facing the open lawn resulted as a welcoming gesture and enhances anticipation to a main event in the evening. For its contribution to expand the cultural exposure, providing a place of gathering, consideration of building upon existing facilities [re-use] and incorporating sustainable solutions, the jury felt this project is deserving of an Honor Award.” –Jose Lobo

PROJECT  His, Hers & Theirs
LOCATION  Garrett Park, Maryland
ARCHITECT  McInturff Architects
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Mark McInturff FAIA
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  Acadia Contractors / Paul Jeffs
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  MKSK Studios / Jonathan Fitch, ASLA
PHOTOGRAPHER  Julia Heine Photography / Julia Heine – Photos. Renderings – McInturff Architects

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A retirement gift between husband and wife gave each what they wanted. For her, a slight addition opened the house to the yard, allowing outdoor entertaining. For him, two studios — for painting and woodworking — provided room for passions that had outgrown the house. For both, a garden in between, designed by the landscape architects, who organized the site with the two additions in mind even before an architect was on board. We framed the garden.

JURY
“This submission checks all the boxes. The design is very well articulated and presented. Attention to existing site conditions and sustainable green strategies go above and beyond. There is a distinct language of each structure that adds to the beauty of this project. They work together and complement each other. As if to form a wonderful, implied dialogue across the site. Nature flows effortlessly and fluidly to and through both structures as the deliberate connection between indoors and outdoors is immediately apparent.

This project is a beautiful transformation whose concept of connected individuality is wonderfully done. The designers’ attention to detail, careful consideration of orientation, and methodical re-use of existing materials all add to the high appreciation of the final product. And while “His” is very different from “Hers” in a way, they both celebrate the importance of individual expression while providing very intimate as well as public opportunities for connection.” –Anson Stuart

JURY
“This project, located on a historic site with a deep rich history, stood out for many reasons. First, the level of community engagement is significant and commendable. The use of local artists as collaborators in the design process provides real community buy-in and credibility, not to mention meaningful social equity. The idea of the project serving as a beacon of hope, carries through in both literal and figurative ways. The highlighted stair towers, sensitivity to user populations and careful placement of key programmatic elements all help to bolster this major central idea. [NP] This project tackles very difficult societal ills in a cohesive, well thought out way. It merges and orchestrates a delicate balance of some of our most vulnerable user groups in a facility that seems to understand the importance of public/private and needed interactions/scheduled solitude. It is a beautiful transformation that works both functionally and aesthetically.” –Anson Stuart

PROJECT  Ocean Sundial
LOCATION  South Bethany, Delaware
ARCHITECT  Donald Lococo Architects, LLC
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Donald Lococo, AIA, David Moore
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  Shay Gallo Construction / Shay Gallo
PHOTOGRAPHER  Anice Hoachlander @anice_hoachlander

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This ocean-front getaway employs a sawtooth form capturing ocean views and dawn’s first light while addressing DNEC’s slope requirement. From that initial glimmer, light floods the top floor and is keyholed deep into the home down a central stairway. Peeking under the home’s raised first floor, fins and dune-fencing are viewed together. At the point of arrival, one discovers that dune-fencing, an environmental manmade element animates the interior and manages solar heat gain on its facade. 

JURY
“This project was one the Jury’s favorite Residential Projects, all around comments mentioned the success of this solution. The privacy screen provides an interactive element that allows animation with sunlight on its interiors and a colorful contrast when the artificial light comes on. The light and sober use of materials, screening elements and frames, provides a serene space for enjoying the views of the ocean. Great consideration was taken in handling exposure. Allowing the context to coexist even under the house by its light supports also helps with not impacting the ecosystem. The jury chose this one as one of the most impacting projects and deserving of a Merit award.” –Jose Lobo

OWNER/CLIENT  Stony Point Development Group / Chris Henry
CONTRACTOR  Hourigan Construction / Brad Hulse
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  Waterstreet Studio / Eugene Ryang, PLA
PHOTOGRAPHER  Alan Karchmer Photo(s) © Alan Karchmer / OTTO

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Tracing its roots back to 1912, the Monticello Ice Cream Company began as a one-room ice cream business in Charlottesville, Virginia. Today, the reimagined Monticello Dairy, now named Dairy Market, includes a food hall, office building addition, and functions as community resource that champions small business entrepreneurs and the Virginia farm-to-table culinary industry. The former brownfield site is now a thriving mixed-use development that achieved LEED Silver v4 BD+C Core and Shell certification.

JURY
“Dairy Market provides a holistic project approach from incorporating the local community to the adaptive reuse of a historic building setting a precedent for integration of architecture on various levels throughout the community. Achieving LEED certification, the design emphasizes the elegance of preservation and sustainability in the modern age. From equitable opportunities created, to energy cost savings through material reuse, the project has achieved a positive outcome in terms of sustainability. –Cristin Peacock

PROJECT  Brookeville Cottage ADU
LOCATION  Brookeville, Maryland
ARCHITECT  Miche Booz Architect
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Miche Booz, AIA, LEED AP, CNU
OWNER/CLIENT  Miche Booz & Diane Teague
CONTRACTOR  Charlie Trapp; David Hartge
PHOTOGRAPHER  Catherine Simmons ©2020, Catherine Simmons

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is an adaptive re-use of an early 20th century cinderblock garage. It is located in Brookeville, Maryland, a town on the National Register of Historic Places. There have been three adaptive re-uses for the building since the property last changed hands. Phase one was a transformation into an architecture studio, second an Accessory Dwelling Unit and currently a cottage with a music studio in the main space. Historic reviews and permitting for the additions to the original structure were a challenge. 

JURY
“Brookeville Cottage ADU is a sensitive adaptive reuse design incorporating resilient choices. It is a demonstration of the positive impact ADU’s can have in providing owners with flexibility for additional space, income, expanded family choices and a lowered carbon footprint.” –Margi Nothard

PROJECT  Kentlands Market Square
LOCATION  Gaithersburg, Maryland
ARCHITECT  Mushinsky Voelzke + Associates [MV+A]
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Neville Fernandes, AIA; Ameneh Amirhakimi, AIA; Colleen Korp, AIA; Harini Chandrasekhar
OWNER/CLIENT  Kimco Realty
CONTRACTOR  McCloud Builders
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  Hord Coplan Macht
PHOTOGRAPHER  Daniel Cunningham Photography / Daniel Cunningham

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Kentlands Market Square presents a series of strategic, place-based interventions intended to re-position and prime a conventional, surface-parked retail center for the ‘successional urbanism’ originally envisioned by the original Kentlands master plan—intended to increase the diversity of land uses, improve walkability, and promote vibrant street life and community identity over time. The project demonstrates how modest but powerful design strategies can make major impacts in the evolution of the built environment and community place-making.

JURY
“What a great model for sprawl repair. As an urban design solution, this project takes on the suburban strip mall and converts it into a place for people rather than cars. This is a great strategy and approach showing that design with a scalpel rather than a hatchet can have such a totalizing effect. The future of community design will look a lot like this as we explore adaptive reuse and retrofit of automobile-oriented environments, to make places for people.” –Jeffrey Huber

PROJECT  Corten Tree House
LOCATION  Cabin John, Maryland
ARCHITECT  Colleen Healey Architecture, LLC
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Colleen Healey, AIA
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  Cabin John Builders / Neal Rosenthal and Josh Rosenthal
PHOTOGRAPHER  Jennifer Hughes Photography / Jennifer Hughes

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This deck-style split level home was dark inside and had very few windows facing the front. The secluded nature of the site created opportunities for exposure, allowing us to blur the boundaries of the home with elements like a 15' glass door that pockets completely into the wall. Cedar siding to match the existing house was used for the addition and was paired with Cor-Ten steel to blend into the wooded site.

JURY
“This project is a beautiful and harmonious merging of human-made design and the natural world. With a strong emphasis on aesthetics and attention to detail the design created elevated interior spaces. It provides a serene and inviting living space that connects people with nature while offering modern comfort and functionality. The materials selection of cedar shake and steel evoke the feeling of being in a forested environment.” –Cristin Peacock

ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Michael Winstanley AIA, Leejung Hong LEED AP, George Eisenberger AIA
OWNER/CLIENT  AG&T / Adam Greenfader
CONTRACTOR  N/A
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  LandDesign
PHOTOGRAPHER  Lifang

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Ponce Paradise is a concept in self-sufficient sustainable and resilient mixed-use development. The main goal for this project is the integration of social, economic and environmental best practices into a single livable, vibrant, accessible, equitable and resilient mixed-use development. [NP] The project is organized in four parts: (1) Town Center / University Medical Center, (2) Wellness Community, (3) Hotel Lagoon and Recreation, and (4) Farm to Table Agriculture and Micro-Grid.

JURY
“Ponce was hit hard by the recent earthquake. The community is unique and anchors a strong Puerto Rican identity. This masterful master plan is impressive with the multitude of distinctive settings and urban fabric that showcase emerging lifestyles within a coastal setting. There were clear qualities of how the architecture, urban design, landscape architecture blend. We really thought that the integration of waterways and other elements provide a fun place to live, work, and play. This plan builds upon the placemaking principles of the surrounding community.” –Anson Stuart

PROJECT  Lincoln Street Residence
LOCATION  Bethesda, Maryland
ARCHITECT  EL Studio PLLC
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Mark Lawrence AIA, Elizabeth Emerson AIA
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  Think Make Build
PHOTOGRAPHER  Paul Burk Photography / Paul Burk

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Bucking the trend of tearing down first-generation homes in near-ring suburbs in favor of oversized farmhouses, this project focuses on reuse: adapting and expanding the structure of a late 1930s brick Cape Cod with an eye towards scale and proportion. Recognizing that the original house had been built with quality materials that contained both embodied energy and plenty of life left in them informed every decision from right from the outset.

JURY
“A nice, simple renovation. The insertion, new windows and the resultant spaces are bold and well-crafted. It looks very livable and durable for a family. Well done!” –Jeffrey Huber

SPECIAL RECOGNITION AWARD

SPECIAL RECOGNITION

OWNER/CLIENT  Baltimore City Public Schools
CONTRACTOR  CAM Construction Co., Inc.
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  SP Arch Inc.
PHOTOGRAPHER  Martice Tucker (Grimm + Parker)

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Graceland Park-O’Donnell Heights ES/MS and Holabird Academy are two Net Zero Energy, LEED Platinum, replacement Pre-K-Grade 8 schools that integrate teaching, learning, and equitable sustainable design in the resource-constrained school district of Baltimore City Schools. Project-based learning opportunities in the buildings and their sites prepare the scholars for clean energy and STEM careers. With identical footprints, both schools have collaborative learning spaces but also their own character, reflecting their community.

JURY
“Special recognition should be brought to two aspects of this project. First, the use of natural daylighting to create a vibrant and conducive environment for learning. The incorporation used thoughtful design consideration and effectively transforms the learning environment promoting a successful learning outcome. Second, for creating a protype of a net-zero educational facility which takes a holistic approach integrating sustainable practices into every aspect of the design and operation. This prototype should serve as a beacon of innovation, inspiring other educational institutions to adopt similar practices.” –Cristin Peacock

SPECIAL RECOGNITION
PROJECT  Maren
LOCATION  Washington, District of Columbia
ARCHITECT  SK+I Architecture
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Sami Kirkdil, FAIA; Jon Wallenmeyer, AIA; Marius Radulescu, AIA; Virginia Carnrick, Assoc. AIA; Tim Laubacker, AIA; Chris Huffer, AIA; Guclu Durusoy, AIA
OWNER/CLIENT  Florida Rock Properties / David DeVilliers & MRP Realty / John Begert
CONTRACTOR  Paradigm / Chuck Monnig
LANDSCAPE ARCHITECT  Oculus / Don Hoover & Liam Butt
PHOTOGRAPHER  David Madison; Max Zhang © David Madison Photography Inc; Iris22 Productions LLC

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Maren, the second phase of a six-acre, four-building Riverfront redevelopment project, takes full advantage of its location at the Waterfront. The 13-story, multifamily, mixed-use tower is located on the site of a former cement plant in Southeast Washington, DC and is positioned directly between Nationals Park and the Anacostia River. This LEED Gold building accentuates its prime location, site history, and unique neighborhood through its form and materials selection.

JURY
“The solution of lifting the architecture to appear to be floating, supported with the angled pipe columns, works well to integrate and connect the plaza. This recessed podium also enhances the sense of arrival and entry to the building. The sawtooth façades provide a playful and animated display of reflection. Depending on the angle it can seem untidy to the west or formally organized to the east. The choice of materials and proportions match and complement future phases. The jury felt the architecture of this project contributes to the overall urban context and a meaningful addition to the district.” –Jose Lobo

SPECIAL RECOGNITION
PROJECT  Casa Venezuela
LOCATION  Bethesda, Maryland
ARCHITECT  KUBE architecture
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN TEAM  Richard Loosle-Ortega RA, Matthew Dougherty
OWNER/CLIENT  Confidential
CONTRACTOR  New Era Builders
PHOTOGRAPHER  Greg Powers Photography / Greg Powers

PROJECT DESCRIPTION
A couple from Venezuela wanted to transform their home into a modern, open and light filled space. The couple requested a home that allowed the easy flow of guests from indoor to outdoor. The design intention was to keep the expanded house efficient and create front to rear visual and spatial connections. The various ceiling heights and use of color accentuate the various activities of the program and create a three-dimensional space within an otherwise simple block of volumes.

JURY
“Casa Venezuela’s interior design deserves special recognition as an example of adaptive reuse of an existing space. Its creative interior design surprises upon entering, with its spatial expansiveness, innovative introduction of light, materials, and color palette.” –Margi Nothard
