Design Pittsburgh 2025 Award Spotlight: Slippery Rock University Performing Arts Center by R3A Architecture (Certificate of Merit in the Large category)

The Slippery Rock University Performing Arts Center was conceived to unite dispersed, outdated facilities into a vibrant, contemporary home for the arts. By transforming Miller Auditorium and the historic East/West Gyms, the design solved challenges of accessibility, outdated infrastructure, and scattered program needs through adaptive reuse and strategic expansion. The intent was to create light-filled, flexible spaces that inspire creativity, support professional-grade performances, and connect students, faculty, and community through shared cultural experiences. The result is a resilient, welcoming venue that elevates SRU’s nationally recognized programs and enriches the cultural fabric of both campus and town.

What the jury said: "We really like the arched thing that is going on here. Something feels silly, but it really works, reminding us of roman theaters, curtains, and boxseats."

Design Pittsburgh 2025 Award Spotlight: Dickie McCamey & Chilcote Pittsburgh HQ by Perkins Eastman (Certificate of Merit in the Large category)

Dickie McCamey’s new Pittsburgh headquarters exemplifies a bold step forward, redefining how they utilize their workplace as a catalyst for increased connections between attorneys, support teams, and staff. The firm has a legacy of having a welcoming and open culture—their space now reflects their way of supporting one another. Transitioning from a daylight-starved layout where attorneys were siloed within their private offices, the new design facilitates transparency and well-being with an inviting and timeless palette.

With its central location in Four Gateway Center, the design team worked with Dickie McCamey to strategically select a new location that would showcase their commitment to the downtown business district, their employees, and their clients. Located near The Point, where Pittsburgh’s three rivers meet, the design reflects a similar convergence of ideas, community, and culture—transforming the law firm’s dated aesthetic into a source of pride and excitement for the future.

What the jury said: "Innovative rethinking of what it means to be a law firm office."

Design Pittsburgh 2025 Award Spotlight: Liten Hytte by Bohlin Cywinski Jackson (Honor Award in the Small category)

Longtime visitors to a small lakeside community in Northern Michigan, the clients were interested in a small cabin for family gatherings that fit with the relaxed, understated character of the region. The former family cabin, a short distance away, would swell with multiple generations during the summer months, when every inch of the dwelling would be used. They were interested in an economical design that made maximal use of a small footprint, incorporated a limited material palette, and offered resilience over both heavy seasonal use and long, typically harsh winters. Inspired by regional context and materials, Liten Hytte establishes a new chapter in an area with special significance for the clients.

What the jury said: "Very well crafted jewelbox in the woods. A nice composition and good balance/ dichotomy between rough plywood/corrugate metal and highly-finished interior volumes. The rough and the refined, combined."

Design Pittsburgh 2025 Award Spotlight: Squirrel Hill Mid-Century Modern Renovation & Addition by Wildman Chalmers Design, LLC (Honor Award in the Small category)

Comprehensive architectural and interior design services were provided for a full-scale gut renovation of this mid-century modern single-family 4-bedroom home. Light and nature are central to the design, focusing on indoor-outdoor connection via a natural color palette, views, and lighting through the floor-to-ceiling windows and an ample outdoor covered patio. The scope of work included a total renovation of both the interior and exterior of the home, and a new second story addition. The addition, which includes a laundry room, a primary suite with a sitting room, and his and her walk-in closets, highlights the views available on this hilltop site. The exterior program included a lap pool and covered outdoor patio with a television, fireplace, seating area, and expansive views of the gardens beyond. As a whole, it provides for the family a luxurious sanctuary, in the heart of the city.

What the jury said: "Very well done – a seamless project that is cohesive throughout the existing building, the addition, and the exterior spaces, which all share the same soft inviting palette. The connection between architecture & interior design, and between indoor and outdoor spaces is blurred."
