Allen Williams, AIA, Senior Architect / Project Manager, MSA Design. “Projects that stand out are the result of a great client with a rich and challenging project and a smooth construction process in which the entire team (owner, contractor, and design team) focuses on the implementation of the work – resulting in everyone walking away proud to have had a part in the project.”

Chad Estes, partner, GOP Limited. “The Meyers have a great appreciation for eco-friendly design and incorporated many green aspects into the project. The home is not connected to municipal water and instead relies on a rainwater harvesting and treatment system with UV disinfection. The roof is engineered for future solar panels and the electrical panel is solar ready.”

Haley Duggins, Associate AIA, Designer, Elevar Design Group. “I have found that the women in architecture community are so supportive of one another and I love how we all seem to have each other’s back. It inspired me months ago to launch Nearly One-Fourth. A podcast dedicated to the experience of women in architecture.”

The Kleingers Group’s Landscape Architecture (LA) Studio has been on an exciting journey of transitioning downtown Cincinnati into a vibrant hub for culture, community, work, living, and recreation. Get to know its work with the Cincinnati Black Music Walk of Fame, Cincinnati Museum Center at Union Terminal and the University of Cincinnati Indoor Practice Facility.

Angela Mazzi, FAIA, Partner, GBBN Architects. “I’m excited about the growing research in neuroscience and psychology that is documenting how design can impact well-being. Work on environmental and social determinants of health is making the case for quality design that considers salutogenic impacts.”

Douglas Furia, Assoc. AIA, Emerging Professional, BIM/VDC Specialist, SSOE, Inc. “I love creative problem solving. Whether it be figuring out a tricky construction detail or finding automations and workarounds in design software, I like being faced with difficult tasks that require a combination of technical knowledge and creativity to complete.”
