Another Award for our Hawai`i Wildlife Center!

The side walls are translucent corrugated polycarbonate to keep rain out and the end wall is composed of varying widths of fiber-cement slats, spaced apart at different intervals to allow for controlled natural ventilation from the steady trade winds.

We were thrilled to learn in late November that Architect magazine had honored our Hawai`i Wildlife Center on the Big Island of Hawai`i with an honorable mention in their Annual Design Review Awards program. However, we had to wait until the December issue was released publicly before letting anyone else know, including our friends at the HWC and our collaborators at Rhoady Lee Architecture + Design and Umemoto Cassandro Design (landscape architecture). So, now it’s public knowledge and we are safe to cheer publicly!

This year, Architect magazine’s jury awarded only 21 projects in 6 categories. We were recognized in the “Grow” category, for architectural projects related to the fields of education, science, and healthcare. For juror comments, photos, and additional text, visit ARCHITECTMAGAZINE.COM. You can see the digital magazine here or look for the link on Architect magazine’s home page in the lower left corner. We also hope you will consider joining us in supporting the HWC financially by visiting their donation page. Thank you!
