By Bustler Editors|

Four projects -- which all happen to be built in California -- have won in the 2014 AIA/HUD Secretary Awards, as announced today by the AIA Housing and Custom Residential Knowledge Community along with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). The annual awards program recognizes what they deem as the best examples of the latest innovation and development in the housing design industry.

Awards were given in four categories: 1) Excellence in Affordable Housing Design; 2) Creating Community Connection Award; 3) Community-Informed Design Award and 4) Housing Accessibility - the Alan J. Rothman Award.

Check out the winning projects right below.

Category One: Excellence in Affordable Housing Design Award - Recognizing architecture that demonstrates overall excellence in terms of design in response to both the needs and constraints of affordable housing. 

28th Street Apartments; Los Angeles
Koning Eizenberg Architects, Inc. 

"This project restored a 1926 YMCA building, designed by noted African American architect Paul R. Williams and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and added a new five-story building at the rear of the existing structure. The original building and addition house two nonprofit organizations; one offers neighborhood youth training and employment programs and the other provides 49 units of affordable housing for youth leaving foster care, the mentally ill, and the chronically homeless. Support services are offered on-site, and residents have access to a roof garden, laundry, and lounge."

Category Two: Creating Community Connection Award - Recognizing projects that incorporate housing within other community amenities for the purpose of either revitalization or planned growth. 

Kelly Cullen Community; San Francisco
Gelfand Partners Architects; Knapp Architects 

"San Francisco’s historic Central YMCA (1909), a nine-story Classical building located in the city’s Tenderloin neighborhood, has been transformed into supportive housing for the homeless and a health center for residents of supportive housing and the homeless. The adaptive use project created 174 micro-units of permanent housing and preserved the original sky-lit second-floor lobby, auditorium, full-size gymnasium, offices, and meeting rooms. A new radiant heating system, energy efficient lighting and ventilation, and the use of healthy materials support sustainability and resident well-being."

Category Three: Community-Informed Design Award - Kings Beach Housing Now (Kings Beach, California) by Domus Development; YHLA Architects. Photo © Tom Zikas Photography; Chelsea Bowman; Dave Adams

Category Three: Community-Informed Design Award - Recognizing design that supports physical communities as they rebuild social structures and relationships that may have been weakened by outmigration, disinvestment, and the isolation of inner-city areas. 

Kings Beach Housing Now; Kings Beach, California
Domus Development; YHLA Architects 

"This project provides affordable workforce housing for low-income workers and families who previously lived in dilapidated, substandard housing in the Lake Tahoe Basin. Consisting of nine buildings located on five scattered sites, Kings Beach Housing Now provides 77 LEED Silver apartments that reduce negative impacts on the environment, reuse infill land, and preserve Lake Tahoe’s beautiful open spaces. In addition, an advanced biofiltration system naturally filters 100% of on-site storm water, which prevents sediments and pollutants from negatively impacting the lake."

Category Four: Housing Accessibility | Alan J. Rothman Award - Sierra Bonita Housing (West Hollywood, California) by Patrick Tighe Architecture. Photo © Art Gray Photography

Category Four: Housing Accessibility | Alan J. Rothman Award - Recognizing exemplary projects that demonstrate excellence in improving housing accessibility for people with disabilities. 

Sierra Bonita Housing; West Hollywood, California
Patrick Tighe Architecture 

"The design challenge of this project, the first all-affordable mixed-use development in West Hollywood and the first designed and completed according to the city’s new Green Building Ordinance, was to fit the desired 42 accessible units on a 13,000-square-foot site and within a 50-foot height limit. The design used minimal exterior setbacks and reversed the typical unit layout, locating the bedrooms along the interior building courtyard and the living areas on the street side, to capitalize on views and natural light. Passive solar strategies generate power for all of the building’s common areas, and a second system of rooftop solar panels provides hot water for the entire building."

The jury for the 2014 AIA/HUD Secretary Awards included Nancy Ludwig, FAIA, (Chair), ICON architecture, inc.; David Barista, Building Design+Construction; Louise Braverman, FAIA, Louise Braverman Architect; Keith Fudge, U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development; Paul Joice; U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development and Jean Rehkeamp Larson, AIA, Rehkamp Larson Architects, Inc.
