2008 Palladio Awards Honor Excellence in Traditional Design

The seventh annual Palladio Awards competition has recognized ten architectural firms for outstanding work in traditional design for commercial, institutional, public and residential projects.

The Palladio Awards program is co-produced by Traditional Building and Period Homes magazines and is named in honor of Andrea Palladio, the Renaissance architect who created modern architecture for his time while drawing on past models for inspiration.

The winners for commercial, institutional and public work are:

White & Borgognoni Architects, P.C., Carbondale, IL, for the rehabilitation of Union Station in Springfield, IL

RMJM Hillier, New York, NY, for an addition to the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond, VA

Khoury & Vogt Architects, Alys Beach, FL, for “Fonville Press,” a café and bookstore in Alys Beach, FL

Pier Carlo Bontempi Architettura Civile & Disegno Urbano, Parma, Italy, for “Place de Toscane,” mixed-use buildings and piazza in Val d'Europe, France

The winners for residential work are:

“2008 is a particularly significant year for the Palladio Awards,” says Traditional Building and Period Homes Editorial Director Michael Carey. “Our seventh year is also the quincentennial of Andrea Palladio’s birth, and it is fitting that in this year, two awards are going to Italian firms.”

The Palladio Awards will be presented at a ceremony in Boston on Wednesday, March 12, as part of the Traditional Building Exhibition and Conference. The winners will present their projects the following day and the projects will be published in the June issue of Traditional Building and the July issue of Period Homes.
