2005 AIA Michigan Design Honor Award

 Detroit West Riverfront Visioning Plan
Detroit, MI

Jury Comment:
Great big ideas. The connection with the existing buildings, plaza and convention center. Excellent design of pedestrian space along with new development works for commercial and residential.

2. Strong directions to a large urban area with a great variety of uses and situations.

3. This is urban design at its most effective - it creates a community asset, amenity and identity which will foster new development in a much needed area of Detroit. It gives citizens and resident a reason to come back to the city.
