Although the judges enjoyed a number of
thoughtful and inspiring multi-family project
submissions, this 516-unit project on 17.2 acres
adjacent to the Pacific Ocean in Huntington Beach,
California quickly rose to the top and outshone the
other projects as a unanimous winner! Simply put,
this "beach-inspired" project is outstanding. The
project is richly layered into six residential apartment
neighborhoods that wrap around a stunning
community amenity of "wave-inspired" recreational
buildings along an organizing "horseshoe loop."
The judges found every aspect of this project to
be thoughtfully planned and executed, including
all of the terrific circulation spaces between the
beautifully designed buildings – the "boardwalk"
details, the abundant landscaping, the architectural
walls, built-in seating areas, the shared outdoor
living spaces, on and on…. Congratulations on your
Multi-Family Project of the Year!
