I am truly honored by AIA Pennsylvania acknowledging studio d'ARC architects for the 2025 firm award. It has always been my intention to do work that attempts to find a coexistence between place and method. Video link soon available.

Every year, AIA Pennsylvania recognizes one firm whose passion and practice have produced notable architecture for at least a decade. Deserving firms will have demonstrated excellence in design and leadership through any combination of the following criteria: the breadth and/or depth of their portfolio, a healthy firm culture, influence on the practice of architecture, exemplary outcomes for clients and/or society.

It's an honor to have this project in Architectural Record this month.
