2020 AIA Wyoming Design Award, Citation Award "A sensitive adaptation of an old warehouse, Art 321 now provides an art space that skillfully retains the history and culture of the city while at once embracing a new program for the arts. The minimal moves and restraint in design are to be commended." "Art 321 has carefully restored an old warehouse into a wonderful center for the arts.

2020 AIA Wyoming Design Award, Citation Award "The South Store Fronts is a small project that is a striking example of how an old building can be transformed into a new character by minimal means. It is a cost-effective solution that sensitively uses a combination of a few materials that not only unify the facade, but add charm and curb-appeal for the tenants." "The South Store Fronts project is a striking example of the renovation of an existing building. The upgraded facade enriches the overall appearance of the building by skillfully using massing, scale, detailing and materials." "Quite a change from previous appearance--the power of a "before" photo. Simple, cost-effective solution that sensitively uses a combination of a few materials that not only unify the facade but adds charm and enhances curb appeal for the tenants." "Took a very industrial box and made a pedestrian-friendly, inviting facade and some nice details." 2018-2019 Old Yellowstone District Award, Redevelopment Partner
2020 AIA Wyoming Design Award, Merit Award "Barn Loft respects what was, what can be, and what is. It exemplifies an appropriate adaptive re-use project in its wabisabi restraint. This honest, humble and sensitive restoration of both the exterior and interior, provides a cohesive response to program while successfully restoring and re-introducing historic architecture and details. A glimpse into the building's past, with well crafted materials, provides a wonderful atmosphere in which to live." "The Barn Loft project is a wonderful example of a restoration project that is restrained, yet tasteful and creative in the reuse of materials while introducting new contemporary materials. The exterior and interior provide a cohesive response to the program while successfully restoring and reintroducing historic architecture and details." "Very nice renovation that shows the remarkable difference between "what was" and "what can be or what is"! The floor plan's simplicity respectfully responds to the overall shape and form of the original loft. The use of pocket doors shaped to follow the exterior gambrel roof sensitively responds to the original form. The restoration of the exterior roof and masonry allow the building's history to show through and offer a glimpse into the building's past while displaying a well-cared-for historic residence." "Adaptive reuse, really made a beautiful interior living space working with the barn roof framing and inserting appropriate new interior elements. On the exterior you see the age of the building and the new elements are carefully handled to be in sympathy with the original structure."
