The Brick Award of Merit

Architect: Voelker Blackburn Neihoff Architects, Inc.
General Contractor: Effinger Management, LLC
Owner: Lindsey Wilson College
Structural Engineer and Landscape Architect: American Engineers
Jury Comments
Clean, simple massing helps to break up this long, large building while the stone foundation helps to tie it all together. Nicely punctuates at each end with the colonnaded entry elements which help to pull strong stone elements to these elevations. This project is uniquely suited to its site and use, contributing to our award for its brick craftsmanship. Sensitive solution to existing campus. Scale of materials are very classical in a contemporary language.
The CMU Award of Honor

Architect: EOP Architects

General Contractor: Hemmer Industries
Owner: Community and Technical College System
Structural Engineer: Brown & Kubican
Landscape Architect: McIlwain + Associates (M2D Design Group)
Jury Comments
Nice composition setting the ground face CMU element off against the new brick classroom wing. Unfortunate that move could not have been done with the older existing building. Premier night and day photography caught our eye, bringing attention to the ground face block and top honors in this category. Inventive use of CMU as linkage and transition material between masonry.
The Stone Honor Award
Project: London Elementary
Architect: Sherman Carter Barnhart
Mason Contractor: J.J. Masonry
General Contractor: Hacker Brothers
Owner: Laurel County Board of Education
Structural Engineer: Poage Engineers
Jury Comments
Relationship of the new stone elements to existing stone gymnasium building works well; stone work inside helps to carry this feeling through the interiors as well. The stone honor award goes to this project with the use of stone, sympathetic and complimentary of the existing building as well as being detailed very nice. Respectful organization and material detailing. Existing gym is integrated into composition, but in respectful manner. Integration of masonry into interior should serve the school well over time.
The Stone Merit Award
Project: Franklin Technical Center
Architect: Voelker Blackburn Niehoff Architects, Inc.
General Contractor: Wieland Davco Corporation
Owner: KCTCS
Structural Engineer: Slesser Engineering, Inc.
Landscape Architect: ClasSickle, Inc.
Jury Comments
Detailing on this limestone clad administrative volume is very nicely handled. Although only one third the project’s focus, it was enough to garner our merit award with bold yet stylish use of natural stone and modern detailing. Chaotic organization, detailing of stone volume is inventive, yet respectful of traditional masonry language.
Special Project Award of Merit (Small Commercial)
Project: Woodlawn Office Building
Architect: Potter & Associate Architects
Mason Contractor: City Development Corp
General Contractor: F.W. Owens Company, Inc.
Owner: Oakland Limited Partnership
Structural Engineer: SCA Consulting Engineering
Landscape Architect: Sabak, Wilson & Lingo
Jury Comments
Clean simple building, nicely set apart by the floating roof structure and well detailed stone work. We think the designer’s intent to give a residential feel to the bank was indeed successful, pleasantly proportioned with the stone and glass, and not out of scale. Balance of the stone and brick gives a pattern and rhythm to building with raises above everyday design. Detail of stone coursing adds interest to the base and entrance lobby.
Special Project Award of Merit (Residential)
Project: Graves Residence
Architect: Stewart Architecture
Mason Contractor: Carter and Witt
General Contractor: Egan & Stotts Construction
Owner: Guy and Terry Graves
Structural Engineer: Poage Engineers
Landscape Architect: David Couzins
Jury Comments
Seamless addition that carries the detailing of the original residence on through the new structure while also bringing the stone in through the interiors. A seamless transition and homage to the original residence. This project is noteworthy for the craftsmanship and attention to detail. Seamless integration of existing and new. Tasteful handling of interior details at interior stone wall.
Special Project Award of Merit (Landscape)
Project: Fontana di Verita’ in Piazza Clayton
Architect: Godsey Associates Architects
Mason Contractor: River City Development
General Contractor: F.W. Owens Company, Inc.
Owner: Bellarmine University
Structural Engineer: Slesser Engineering, Inc.
Jury Comments
Piazza has a very calm and sever look about it and appears to link existing buildings together in a simple yet strong manner. Special notice is paid to this reverent use of natural materials, granite, and stone pavers, which together with the waterfall effect, produces a successful and unique work. Simple concept is well executed.
