We are honored to share that FOCAL Design Studio has received an Honorable Mention Award for Best New Firm in the Midwest Region by The Architect’s Newspaper () as part of its Best of Practice Awards.

This recognition comes at a meaningful moment for our studio, just as we celebrate our four-year anniversary. When we started FOCAL, we set out to build a practice that is as much about the work we make as the culture we cultivate — a studio grounded in curiosity, rigor and a belief that design can create deeper connections between people, communities, and place. Four years in, we’re grateful for the clients, collaborators, consultants, builders, friends and team members who have helped shape both our work and our practice.

Thank you to The Architect’s Newspaper for this recognition. We’re excited for what’s ahead.
