2 HONORAWARD Meadow View Cemetery Funeral Pavilion Architect.... JRA Architects Owner Louisville Metro Parks Structural Engineer Skyhook Structural Engineering General Contractor...Sullivan Cozart Overall, a lovely structure elegant in its details that is appropriately formal and inviting at the same time. We love the detail and material attention paid to this extraordinarily simple structure. The architecture celebrates the ritual and the overall humility of the situation. The butterfly roof does its job as a reference to an uplifting metamorphosis. A very poetic project. Beautiful, humble, serene. photo by JRA Architects The Honor Awards Program of AIA Kentucky is dedicated to recognizing and applauding works of architecture exhibiting design excellence, as well as to promoting public awareness and appreciation of the diversity, quality and scope of Kentucky architecture. The 2012 Awards Program included 39 projects submitted by 27 firms from across the Commonwealth. The jury was directed to evaluate each project based on the success with which the project met its own individual requirements. Entries were weighed individually, not in comparison with one another, and the jury was directed to select as many or as few projects as it determined to be worthy of recognition Awards Jury Rich Varda, FAIA, ASLA (Jury Chairman) Senior Vice President of Store Design, Target Minneapolis, MN E.

3 JX2 House Lexington, KY Architect... Margaret Jacobs, AIA and Michael Jacobs, AIA Owner...Withheld at Owner s Request Structural Engineer...Brown + Kubican Mechanical & Electrical Engineer...Climate Control Landscape Architect... Henkel Denmark General Contractor...Tony Brown Incredible discipline and clarity characterize this simple box form. Tight detailing of the industrial metal skin gives the house a clean elegance. While contemporary in its language and at first glance disconnected from the culture of the regional context, the metal finish and the siting of the project in the landscape meadow makes an enriching connection to other agrarian or farm buildings that beautifully punctuate this region. The house works so well in the landscape, just hovering above the topography with open views in all directions. The formal, symmetrical plan feels light-filled, elegant and comfortable, creating a simple, very rationale concept that is well executed. Frank Doring Photography Private Residence Architect... De Leon & Primmer Architecture Workshop Owner...Withheld at Owner s Request General Contractor...Kiel Thomson Co. This is a very mature work simple, modern additions are strategically located, well-proportioned, and complement the historic structure beautifully. Beautiful details, materials and massing allow it to relate to the existing home without imitation. The vertical emphasis in the windows and elements of the new construction are harmonious without copying the verticality of the original home. New and old are defined by slight contrast, yet carefully woven together. Interiors are equally thoughtful in creating a unified whole, while defining new from old. photo by de leon & primmer architecture workshop 3

4 HONORAWARD s ky blue solarhouse Lexington, KY Architect...Gregory A. Luhan, AIA Luhan Studio Design Team...University of Kentucky s ky blue solarhouse team Owner...University of Kentucky Structural Engineer... BFMJ, Inc. Jim Tetro Architectural Photography Mechanical & Electrical Engineer...University of Kentucky s ky blue solarhouse team Landscape Architect...University of Kentucky s ky blue solarhouse team General Contractor...University of Kentucky Colleges of Agriculture, Design, Engineering s ky blue solarhouse team This house is a great example of design that addresses energy savings in compact simple forms. The structure speaks with a careful and clear design voice from exterior through interior - simple, functional and elegant. The roof tilt is a fun innovation. The rigorous integration of form and technology creates a great learning experience for students, developing ideas they can actually build! The siting of the house on the campus seems very compelling and should also be commended. HONORAWARD Market Street Barbers Architect.... Architectural Artisans, Inc. Owner.... Market Street Barbers, Inc. General Contractor.... Architectural Artisans, Inc. This thoughtful and careful renovation demonstrates a skillful architectural handling of the relationship between the new barbershop and the old building. The deference to existing murals and finishes adds a level of richness to the interior environment. The design transcends style debates to create a classic barbershop that we imagine appeals to many men. An utterly simple, clever integration of existing elements, function and branding - a small project that makes a big difference in daily life. photo by Ed Brown 4

5 CITATION Urban Active Fitness at Polaris Lexington, KY Architect.... EOP Architects Owner....P&P Real Estate Structural Engineer.... BFMJ, Inc. Mechanical & Electrical Engineer BCCLT Consulting Engineers, Inc. General Contractor.... Messer Construction The Jury was very impressed with the interior spatial development, which suggested an exciting and enriching community environment. The spatial and volumetric development inside enhances this sense of community, perhaps doing what trainers aspire to: make exercise interesting. It seems like a great place to see and be seen would make me want to work out more. Phebus Photography CITATION Shawnee Library Addition and Renovation Architect of Record... Luckett & Farley Architects, Engineers & Interior Designers Design Architect...MS&R Architects Owner... Louisville Free Public Library, Louisville Jefferson County Metro Government Moberly Photography, Inc. / Luckett & Farley Structural Engineer... Cornerstone Engineering, Inc. Mechanical Engineer...Hussung Mechanical Contractors, Inc. Electrical Engineer...Arrow Electric Co. Landscape Architect... Luckett & Farley Architects, Engineers & Interior Designers General Contractor... Encompass Develop, Design & Construct, LLC The new addition is a well-proportioned, strong and contrasting form to the historic building. It takes an attitude of looking the other direction, opening up to the landscape, offering an alternative to the more enclosed space offered by the existing building. The simplicity of the form, materials and composition of the addition are to be commended. 5

6 CITATION for technical merit in terra cotta restoration TrusT Lounge Lexington, KY Architect.... GRW Owner.... Andy Shea Structural Engineer.... Poage Engineers & Associates Electrical Engineer.... GRW General Contractor.... River City Development Corp. The Jury appreciated the overall effort expended in this 19th Century bank facade restoration, as it reflects a commitment that surely enhances the streetscape. The design choices were difficult with the bottom half of the original building removed completely by an earlier renovation. Significant damage had also been done to the remaining second floor facade and cornice, originally all constructed of glazed terra cotta. The Jury recognized the attention to detail and skillful craftsmanship that restored the upper terra cotta facade. Walt Roycraft Photography DistinguishedFirmAWARD Arrasmith, Judd, Rapp, Chovan, Inc.
