For the sixth year, we asked local architects and designers to send us their work completed in the last three years. That brought the beginning date back to the 2009 when the country was still in the throes of the 2008 economic meltdown, when all building hit a dead stop. But it didn’t really seem to matter. The number of entries slid a bit, but we were awed and amazed by the beauty of the 122 entries we received. Our reaction was only echoed in comments made by this year’s stellar panel of judges: designer Bunny Williams, House Beautiful editor Newell Turner, Oklahoma City National Memorial architect Hans Butzer, and DWELL editor Amanda Dameron. To all of the winners and those who placed, congratulations on jobs extremely well done. —Christy Marshall
