Marvin Windows and Doors has announced the winners of its seventh annual Architects Challenge
The winning projects are designed by architects from all over the country, with awards given in the following categories: Best In Show, Best Contemporary Project, Best Transitional Project, Best Traditional New Construction Project, Best Remodel/Addition, Best Commercial Project, and four Honorable Mentions. The Healdsburg Residence in Sonoma County, Calif. was named the Best In Show in the 2015 Marvin Architects Challenge.
“This is the first year that we have chosen to honour winning projects in various segments. This year, the winners include everything from a lakeside mansion to a downtown commercial revival,” said Christine Marvin, Director of Marketing for Marvin Windows and Doors. “Marvin’s products complement diverse design styles, given their flexibility, and this year’s winners showcase the depth and breadth of our products and how they can be integrated in a wide variety of architectural projects and styles. I am blown away by the projects submitted each year, and I can say that this year was no exception!”
Winners of the 2015 Architects Challenge were chosen by a panel of architectural experts, including Donald W. Powers, AIA, LEED AP, CNU, Founding Principal of Union Studio Architecture & Community Design; Adele Chang, AIA, Principal at Lim Chang Rohling & Associates, Inc.; and Stephen Muse, FAIA, Senior Principal of Muse Architects. Winning projects were chosen based on architectural excellence, creative design and use of Marvin products.
“With over 150 projects entered into the Architects Challenge this year, choosing a winner wasn’t easy,” said judge Adele Chang, AIA of Lim Change Rohling & Associates. “As an architect, it is very rewarding to be able to see the care and detail that others in my field put into their projects. It was a tough choice at times, but we believe all the winners show the best of their genres.”
