This award recognizes the outstanding achievement of a firm that has produced notable architecture for at least a decade. Award-winning firms have set an example both in design work and practice leadership in the state.
Barker Rinker Seacat is celebrating 50 years of practice, a feat worthy of an award all on its own. However, the jury was even more impressed and inspired for their commitment to creating high quality, community centered architecture, for decades. Their work is the result of bringing people together to create places for social connection specific to each community.
The jury was equally impressed by their ability to keep people together, in their great firm. They are a perfect example of a company that values staying together by working together, year after year. This commitment to each other and to their culture, is evident in every piece of exceptional architecture they create.
