We're always searching out interesting and noteworthy projects at H&H, and we're happy to report that two buildings we've featured have recently been honored with awards.
THE ROWE HOUSE, featured on our August/September 2023 cover, has been chosen as the Spokane Preservation Advocates' 2024 Residential Rehabilitation category winner.
"Annually, we award people or organizations that have done outstanding preservation work in the community," Executive Director Dave Shockley says, noting that 11 projects were singled out this year. "The Rowes put the house back in its original condition — and did an excellent job. And they furnished the house in the character of its vintage. It's kind of a museum piece."
Spokane Preservation Advocates provides legal advocacy, preservation education and even workshops for local craftsmen to foster skills and network with others in the preservation community, in addition to sponsoring several events each year, including the Autumn Tour of Historic Homes.
In September, CARLA PEPERZAK MIDDLE SCHOOL, which was designed by Spokane's Integrus and opened to students in fall 2023 (also featured in our Aug/Sept 2023 issue), received a 2024 civic design citation from the AIA Washington Council. Each year, the organization "celebrates the best examples of what can be realized when architects and civic clients work together to achieve quality design." Judges cited the building's adaptable learning spaces and attention to use of natural light. "All spaces feature opportunities for 'learning happening everywhere.'"
