NICHOLAS TAMARIN -- INTERIOR DESIGN, 5/5/2010

Established a decade ago to recognize the best housing design the United States had to offer and to "promote the importance of good housing as a necessity of life, a sanctuary for the human spirit and a valuable national resource," the American Institute of Architects has handed out its Housing Awards every year since. This year, its jury, including chairman Andrew Porth of Porth Architects and Grace Kim of Schemata Workshop, selected 18 recipients for the Housing Awards Program, in four categories: One/Two Family Custom Housing, One/Two Family Production Housing, Multifamily Living, and Special Housing.

Bohlin Cywinski Jackson took home the most hardware, winning three awards in the One/Two Family Custom Housing category for their Port Townsend Residence and Sheldon Gatehouse in Washington state and the Dry Creek Outbuildings in Woodside, California.

Other notable winners include KieranTimberlake's Cellophane House and Rogers Marvel Architects' 14 Townhouses, both in New York, in the One/Two Family Production Housing category. In the Multifamily Living category, Lorcan O'Herlihy Architects won for their Formosa 1140 project in West Hollywood, California, and Interior Design Hall of Famers Pugh + Scarpa grabbed Special Housing brass for their Step Up on 5th in Santa, Monica, California.
