The AIA Northern Virginia Design Awards program recognizes and celebrates our members' achievements in the design of the built environment. It honors and spotlights our members' commitment to design excellence in six categories: Unbuilt/Conceptual, Commercial, Residential, Commercial Interiors, Historic, Institutional, and Transportation/Infrastructure project types. Winning an award demonstrates to both clients and the public, the availability of local architects and firms dedicated to providing outstanding architectural design and execution.
