The architectural associations of Atlantic Canada have announced the recipients of the 2024 Atlantic Architectural Design Excellence Awards (AADEA). The award were presented in St. John’s, NL, on June 25.

The AADEA’s objective is to recognize, celebrate and showcase architectural design excellence for projects completed in Atlantic Canada.

“The quality of the not only the winning projects, but all submissions, showcases the immense depth of talent producing world class architecture here in Atlantic Canada. The responsiveness to local culture and place along with the thoughtfulness to high quality detailing is evident in all these projects. We are proud to have these Architects as members in our respective associations and look forward to what the future holds for the region as this amazing talent continues to design architectural projects that aim to improve the built environment for all of us,” said NLAA president, Jeremy Bryant.

George Cotaras, president of the NSAA, said, “The practice of our profession inspires and instills public pride in our communities and creates buildings that enhance the public’s enjoyment of and engagement with their built environment and their community. The projects being recognized showcase outstanding collaborative outcomes between architects and their clients. They create environments that enhance the places where we live, work, and visit while respecting the history and surroundings in which they are located.”
