Text reads: Showcasing the finest in residential architectural design, the 3rd annual AIA Cincinnati’s CORA Awards (Congress of Residential Architecture) was held on Tuesday evening, April 19, 2011 at The Phoenix in Downtown Cincinnati. The focus of the awards ceremony was to give public attention to local registered Architects. Throughout the course of the evening, twelve projects were recognized with one of the following awards: Best Overall, Honor, Merit, and Honorable Mention. Prior to the night of the awards ceremony, the winners were selected out of forty-three submittals by a distinguished panel of jurors, nationally recognized in the field of residential architecture and chaired by Baton Rouge architect Kevin Harris, FAIA. For the third year in a row, RWA Architects was an award recipient, this year receiving two Merit Awards in the categories of Addition or Remodel (over 3,000 square feet) and Residential Interior and two Honorable Mentions in the categories of Addition or Remodel (under 1,000 square feet) and New Custom Home (3,000 – 6,000 square feet). RWA is once again honored to be recognized, affirming our status as a leader in residential design service.
