Seattle firm Miller/Hull Partnership was selected yesterday by the American Institute of Architects (AIA) as the recipient of the 2003 AIA Architecture Firm Award.

According to the AIA, “The AIA Architecture Firm Award is the highest honor the AIA bestows on an architecture firm, and is given annually to recognize a practice that has consistently produced distinguished architecture for at least 10 years. Miller/Hull will receive the award at the American Architectural Foundation Accent on Architecture Gala, March 8, at the National Building Museum in Washington, D.C.

Founded in 1977, Miller/Hull is today led by four partners, three principals, and 38 associates. Its public projects include Fisher Pavilion at Seattle Center, the Roberts Port of Entry, and Bainbridge Island City Hall. Other notable projects include 1310 East Union live/work lofts, Seattle, Campbell Orchard House and Novonty Cabin.

In nominating the firm, AIA board member Bruce Blackmer, AIA, commented: “Their exquisitely designed buildings respond to the unique environment within which they are located like few others. Their innovative approach has created a body of work of substance and authenticity without falling into stylistic trappings."
