St. Pete Pier™ District Wins Multiple Design Excellence Awards

The St. Pete Pier™ is under construction, however, it has already been recognized four times by the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

Most recently, the Pier has been recognized with two awards by AIA Florida. ASD|SKY Rogers Partners, the design team for the New St. Petersburg Pier project, has been awarded a prestigious 2018 AIA Florida/Caribbean Design Excellence Honor Award in the Unbuilt Category. Also, the design team for the Pier Approach, Wannemacher Jensen Architects, has been named a 2018 AIA Florida Merit Award recipient for the St. Pete Pier Market, also in the Unbuilt category. These awards competed with 41 projects from 32 firms in Florida and Puerto Rico. The London-based jury of 4 selected the winning projects in May.

Upon learning of the Excellence Honor Award, John Curran AIA, Principal of ASD|SKY, stated, “on behalf of our entire design team, ASD|SKY and Rogers Partners, we are truly honored to receive this award. It recognizes how extraordinary the Pier will be.”

About their award, architect Jason Jensen, Wannemacher Jensen Architects said, “I believe this award reflects the city’s strong dedication to quality parks and sustainability. In the submission, we noted the project’s sustainability, integrating solar power as a unique shade structure.”
In 2016, a Tampa Bay AIA Honor Award was presented to ASD | SKY and Rogers Partners for The New St. Pete Pier Design.
Also, in 2016, Rogers Partners Architects + Urban Designers was selected a winner of an AIANY Award for the design of the new St. Pete Pier™.
AIA Honor Awards recognize projects that demonstrate the highest standards of design and innovation and a commitment to excellence in architectural design.
