In a ceremony Sept. 14, the 25-unit collection of urban dwellings in Phoenix called artHAUS won a 2017 Builder’s Choice & Custom Home Design Grand Award, recognizing outstanding and innovative residential design across the United States.
Jason Boyer, architect and principal with Phoenix-based Studio Ma, designed and developed the housing community on a site within walking distance of popular attractions like the Phoenix Art Museum, Hance Park, and Arizona State University’s downtown campus.
The Builder’s Choice jury panel selected artHAUS for the national Grand Award in a multifamily and mixed-use category based on the design’s simple, bold forms and its configuration of townhomes, lofts and flats ranging from 560 to 1900 square feet. The homes, close to 70% sold already, are organized around interconnected, semi-private resident courtyards.
