About the Awards
At this year’s Design Awards Holiday Gala, we will be announcing the recipients of AIA Santa Barbara’s Design Awards 2023! The purpose of the Design Awards is to recognize and honor excellence in architecture within our local built environment and by AIA Santa Barbara architects beyond our region. The AIA Santa Barbara Design Awards draws attention to the extraordinary legacy of great architecture in Santa Barbara and California, and the value of well-designed architecture to every member of our community.
This is a unique opportunity for your company to have a presence in the architectural community of Santa Barbara. We have submissions from licensed architects in the Santa Barbara area, as well as from architects outside Santa Barbara if their project was located in Santa Barbara County. Honor, Merit, and Honorable Mentions may be recognized in the following categories: Commercial Buildings; Single Family Residential, Mixed Use and Multi-Family Residential; Conservation Projects: Historic Preservation, Restoration, Rehabilitation or Reconstruction; Santa Barbara Style; Small Projects: Single Family Residential Additions, Remodels or Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU’s); Commercial Interiors; Residential Interiors; and Proposed/Unbuilt Project.
Also awarded at the Gala will be the annual Lutah Maria Riggs community award.
