HMS Wins IIDA Award for AIA New Orleans Offices

IIDA Delta Region Chapter Award of Excellence in Corporate Design - AIA New Orleans Design Center



On August 13 HMS Architects received an Award of Excellence in Corporate Design for the AIA New Orleans Design Center from the IIDA Delta Region Chapter.

The next Corporate Design space is a multi-function space that redefines the image and visibility of a local non-profit organization while accommodating a variety of uses. The client's program called for a rebranding that more closely aligned itself with the corporate sponsorship aesthetic and color scheme of the parent national organization. Being Multi-functional, this space would host such diverse uses as gallery and exhibit hall, lecture room, social gatherings and administrative offices.  The project was completed pro bono by the design team, with a majority of the materials and labor donated per the solicitation of the interior design team and client.

Judges called it nice integration of new construction with historical elements. "Crisp colors and great use of space; has a lofty and open feel."
