Living on the Edge – Coastal Residential Design Awards Program
Date: 2/23/2024 - 4/5/2024
Type: Competitions / Awards
Description:
This first-ever design awards program for coastal residential design was the concept and ethos of the Coastal Custom Residential Architects Network of the American Institute of Architects, Long Beach / South Bay. It is specific to coastal residential design and is open to all Architects and Designers of residential projects and outdoor spaces in the Southern California coastal cities area. The intention of this program is to provide much-deserved recognition for the coastal work that many of our industry colleagues are doing.
Projects must be located within a city on the Southern California Coast, which is defined as the city’s border extending to the Pacific Ocean. Must be completed / built after January 1, 2019.
In addition to new and remodeled construction, the Living on the Edge – Coastal Residential Design Awards includes a new category of Outdoor Space for the following lot sizes:
- Lot size under 5,000 sq ft
- Lot size 5,001 – 10,000 sq ft
- Lot size over 10,001 sq ft
All submitted projects will gain recognition across AIA LBSB’s social media platforms once the jury announces their decisions. Additionally, these projects will be featured on the AIA LBSB website until the next Coastal CRAN awards program, slated for winter/spring 2026. Winners will receive special attention in all related press releases and will be honored at a post-program AIA LBSB event. Moreover, each winning firm will be awarded a printed certificate to commemorate their achievement.
