Awards:

DEER RUN HOUSE, Hunting Valley, Ohio
Completed: 2007
Awards:
AIA Cleveland Honorable Mention Award, 2012
Aaron Betsky, Jury Co-Chair: “The [residence] married interiors that were also forthright in their geometry and use of materials with forms that evoked traditional residential forms. Sloping roofs and brick makes [this house] part of a vernacular, but the architect chose to evoke, rather than imitate, and to intimate, rather than imitate. We felt this made the project stronger, especially when … the architect [opened] the slopes … to multiple interpretations while letting light and space flow. The proportions and spatial sequences in [this project] particularly impressed us.”

Yvonne Szeto, AIA Jury Chair: "The modernist elegance of this museum is likable. It creates an intriguing moment on the Euclid Avenue corridor, without resorting to fussy clichés.
