AWARDS!!! This week we found out that 4 recent Sequined Asphault Studio client shoots have earned their respective designers the position of finalist in the Connecticut Cottages and Gardens Magazine Innovation in Design Awards! Wow, that was a mouthful. Awesome. The big winners are announced later this month at a fancy schmansy shindig. Fingers crossed.

I’d love to show you the photos here, but you’re just going to have to wait to enjoy your cup of tea and the magazine when the July/August issue hits the stands.

Winning! (thanks Charlie)

This past few weeks I’ve been packaging awards entries for clients right and left, so it was exciting to receive some great feedback.

The design team at Beinfield Architecture has been awarded a 2012 Business in Architecture Award from the Connecticut American Institute of Architects (CT AIA) for this great private jet hangar and FBO.

The coolest thing about this award for me, besides the experience of taking photos at dusk on an airport tarmac, is what it takes to win according to the AIA’s criteria:

This statewide award honors architects for solving business problems for Connecticut clients, thereby demonstrating the power of architecture to shape business performance, to improve peoples’ lives and provide a value added service to clients in a business setting that far exceeds the costs of that service.

It’s why we do, what we do, right?

Another AIA CT Design Award!

We’ve been super fortunate over here at Sequined Asphault Studio, and some exciting news almost got lost in the shuffle.Â While we were on our honeymoon, Beinfield Architecture received a 2011 AIA Connecticut Design Award for their new House in Ridgefield!

Congrats to Andrew Bartolotta AIA, Bruce Beinfield FAIA and the rest of the Project Team.Â I was thrilled for the opportunity to photograph the project and had a great time working with the Client.Â There is tons of inspiration and creative genius, attributable to both Architect and Client, throughout this deceptively simple barn with something modern and surprising at every turn.

Check us out in the July/Aug issues

Congratulations to the Project Team! I got to photograph this exciting project last summer – it’s quite the impressive site!

You might recall I had a potentially threatening equipment malfunction that day.Â Well, folks, it seems to have all worked out. What a relief!
