2023 Awards Show

The 2023 Awards Show combines award-winning projects from two of AIA|DC’s largest competitions:

  • Chapter Design Awards
  • Washingtonian Residential Design Awards

Each year, our competitions recognize practitioners who demonstrate excellence in design. Projects are selected by distinguished juries of design professionals based outside of the Washington metropolitan region.

Congratulations to all the 2023 winners!


2023 Chapter Design Awards

The jury may then recommend one of the following: Citations in the areas of Sustainable Design, Universal Design, Design and Wellbeing, and Urban Catalyst; Award; and Grand Award.

2023 Washingtonian Residential Design Awards

The Washingtonian Residential Design Awards recognize residential projects, regardless of size or classification, based on excellence in total design, including aesthetics, programmatic response, and sustainability.

For 42 years, AIA|DC and Washingtonian magazine have co-sponsored an awards competition that recognizes excellence in residential design throughout the Washington metropolitan region. The competition is open exclusively to registered architects.

Eligible projects represent single-family, multifamily, or mixed-use residential buildings that characterize new construction, remodeling, additions, or adaptive reuse. Specialized housing such as senior living centers, dormitories, and emergency shelters for natural disasters may also be considered, as well as projects with universal design principles.
