WARROAD, Minn., May 19, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Today Marvin® Windows and Doors announced the winners of its eighth annual Architects Challenge competition at the American Institute of Architects (AIA) Convention in Philadelphia. Six architect-designed projects from across the country were awarded in the following categories: Best In Show, Best Contemporary, Best Transitional/Eclectic, Best Traditional New Construction, Best Remodel/Addition, and Best Commercial.

Winners of the 2016 Architects Challenge were chosen by a panel of experts, including:

"Choosing winners from Architects Challenge entries this year was an embarrassment of riches," said Manny Gonzales of KTGY. "Seeing the incredible design from those in my field made it difficult to choose, but the winners exemplified the careful and creative use of space we expect to see when an architect designs a home or building. The Architects Challenge winners are truly talented."

Winning projects were judged on architectural excellence, creative design and use of Marvin window and door products.

"There is nothing more rewarding than partnering with architects and design professionals to create windows and doors that truly transform a space," said Christine Marvin, Director of Marketing at Marvin Windows and Doors. "Because every Marvin product is made-to-order, our team is an integral part of each window and door we build – which comes with Marvin's dedicated architectural support and expertise. Every year, we feel very fortunate to see our products at work through the Architects Challenge program, and are honored to champion the quality, creativity and craftsmanship of fellow industry professionals."    

This year's Architects Challenge winners are:

BEST IN SHOW

 

Malcolm Wildeboer Vandenburg & Wildeboer Architects Inc.

Wedge House Quebec, Canada

The Wedge House is a 4,000-square-foot vacation home on the mighty Ottawa River that embraces a comfortable balance between shelter and exposure. Key to its success is the play between an expansive and restrained approach to glazing. Floor-to-soffit Marvin windows evoke a bold but delicate transparency. The structure, a rhythm of ten ascending laminated timber bents assembled with mortised knife plates and through bolts, gives form to the cleanly pitched frame.

BEST CONTEMPORARY

 

Elizabeth Herrmann Elizabeth Herrmann Architecture + Design

Micro House Huntington, Vt.

The Micro House is a newly constructed 430-square-foot artist's home on a property with spectacular views in rural Vermont. The program was simple: a bathroom, sleeping area, kitchen, storage, dining/work table, living space that could double as guest sleeping and a sleeping loft. While open in plan, the living level was sculpted so that each of the different areas of use have definition and a sense of place, without being static or confining, and so that the house could comfortably accommodate visitors. Windows have a wood, shadow-lined surround – a subtle detail to punctuate the openings without detracting from the view.

BEST TRANSITIONAL/
ECLECTIC

 

Dan Scully

Daniel V. Scully Architects

 

Edgewater II Harrisville, N.H.

Before the renovation, Edgewater II looked like an inappropriate 1970s spec house, with an aggressively tall and pointed gable toward the water. It was all sliders, a gable full of glass without refinement, and clapboards with tight 'mean' trim. The solution was in the windows, and the trim around them. The project became a total renovation. Sliders and glass gables were replaced with large double hung windows with window muttons. The effect is a shingle-style wall, with surface punched windows of the period, rather than the pseudo-contemporary all-glass look of the original.

BEST TRADITIONAL NEW CONSTRUCTION

 

Mark Nelson

David Heide Design Studio

 

Crane Island Retreat Minnetrista, Minn.

For over 100 years, Crane Island has been a summer destination for a few fortunate Minnesota families who move to cooler lake communities for the season. Desiring a return to this lifestyle, the owners intend to spend long summer cottage weekends there. The location affords both community and privacy with close proximity to their city house. The island is small, with only about 20 cottages, most of which were built early in the last century. The challenge to the architect was to create a new house that would look 100-years-old the day it was finished.

BEST REMODEL/
ADDITION

 

Albert Garcia

KITE Architects, Inc.

 

 

 

Prospect Residence Providence, R.I.

Located in the heart of College Hill, this residential renovation project is surrounded by historic residences, as well as Brown University and Rhode Island School of Design. The design focus was to visually and spatially transform the formerly reclusive building and landscape into a modern, progressive residence with new meaningful connections to its vibrant center of residential and student activity. Structural modifications to existing dormers and new windows bring light and views deep into the interiors of the house. Interior layout and entrances were completely redefined to improve the natural flow between living spaces and connections to the outdoors, while at the same time maintaining privacy for the owners in this urban setting.

BEST COMMERCIAL

 

Daniela Holt Voith Voith & Mactavish Architects LLP

 

 

 

Frederic C. Hamilton Math & Science Center Millbrook, N.Y.

The Frederic C. Hamilton Math & Science Center was designed to reinforce the existing traditional campus architecture while embracing contemporary educational design principles. The 25,000-square-foot building provides four discipline-specific science labs, an independent research room, five math classrooms, an IT suite, faculty office suite, and a free-standing greenhouse. All learning spaces and offices receive natural lighting from large windows in at least two directions, and are coupled with high efficiency light fixtures, daylight harvesting sensors and dimming ballasts. Marvin products provided the combination of material, size, and performance needed to meet the project's aesthetic and energy performance goals.

The 2016 Architects Challenge winners will travel to Marvin's headquarters in Warroad, Minn. this fall for an all-expenses-paid tour. They will also be featured on Marvin.com along with promotion through Marvin's media partners. Additionally, the winning architects' projects will be detailed in the annual Architects Challenge coffee table book.

This summer, the general public will choose a 2016 Architects Challenge Showdown winner by popular vote online at Marvin.com/ArchitectsChallenge. From June 6 to July 1, voters will have the chance to choose their favorite projects from all Architects Challenge entries – more than 170 projects. After the final votes are tallied, the Showdown winner will receive a trip to the 2016 Greenbuild International Conference and Expo in Los Angeles, Calif. held in October.
