We’re excited to see some a/e ProNet clients among the winners at the recent 2015 Indiana Design Awards.
Honor Award – New Construction
(Project cost greater than $1 million)
Project Name: 5855 Irvington Lofts (Indianapolis, IN)
Jury Comments:
This project uses economical materials judiciously and successfully. The minimalist language makes for striking architecture that does not look like affordable housing; the same reductivist approach is beautifully expressed in the highly disciplined floor plans as well. Generous expanses of glazing open up the interiors, making spaces feel larger than they are, and accent colors provide a vibrancy to the design both inside and out.
Merit Award – New Construction
(Project cost less than $1 million)
Project Name: City Farmhouse (Bloomington, IN)
Jury Comments:
The taut restraint exhibited in the design of this project transforms the farmhouse vernacular into a contemporary residential icon for the community. The simple, well-balanced composition, culminating in a corner-wrapping porch stepping down to grade is exceptional. Interiors are surprisingly open and light. Though obviously painstakingly designed, this project appears completely un-self-conscious and rooted in authenticity.
Honor Award – Interior Architecture
(Project cost greater than $1 million)
Project Name: Jarden Home Brands (Fishers, IN)
Jury Comments:
This was a beautiful presentation, and was consistent with the attention to detail, and vibrant color and texture present throughout the design. The jury appreciated the process drawings, and was taken with the imaginative use of the client’s products in the design. Floating ceilings simultaneously celebrate building systems, filter natural light, and define spaces in a minimal, interesting way. This looked to us like a wonderful place to work.
Citation Award – Interior Architecture
(Project cost less than $1 million)
Project Name: Taxman Brewing Co. (Bargersville, IN)
Jury Comments:
his project was also very well presented, beginning and ending with contextual photos that helped the jury appreciate the importance of the immediate environs. A taut, industrial aesthetic is judiciously deployed, complementing the earlier industrial architecture, while tastefully accenting the client’s products. The result is a space that feels exciting, contemporary and authentic.
