Take a look at the 'Best in Hawai‘i Architecture'

And the winners are ...

More than a dozen displays of architectural design have been recognized by AIA Honolulu — the Honolulu chapter of the American Institute of Architects — as the best in Hawai‘i at the 67th annual Design Awards.

Since 1958, the awards have honored excellence in architectural design. Nearly 200 people attended the awards gala Friday, July 25, at the Prince Waikīkī.

More than 1,000 votes were cast by the public over two weeks in June for the 19th annual People' Choice Award, according to an announcement Monday from the AIA Honolulu. Other awards were determined by a panel of jurors composed of AIA member-architects that included three local jurors as well as architects based out of San Francisco and Seattle.
