A fresh set of 23 stunning projects were distinguished in the 2019 AIA|LA Residential Architecture Awards, which celebrates outstanding residential designs in the L.A. region — or abroad — by LA-based architects. The esteemed competition jury evaluated 131 entries that were submitted in six categories: Single-Family Residential; Adaptive Re-Use/Renovation/Historic Preservation; Retirement; Affordable Housing; Additions and Accessory Dwelling Units; and Multi-Unit Residential.
