On World Architecture Day, we’re celebrating two Miller Hull projects honored by Metropolis Magazine Planet Positive Awards, which highlight excellence in sustainable, healthy, and just design across the built environment.
The Newhouse Replacement Building received an Innovation Award in Overall Decarbonization for its approach to material reuse, low-carbon mass timber construction, all-electric systems, and healthier materials. Compared to a conventional steel-and-concrete baseline, the project reduces upfront embodied carbon by 52%.
Redmond Library received a Project Award in the Civic category for its role as a welcoming civic living room, with flexible spaces, outdoor gathering areas, and a photovoltaic array sized to meet 100% of the building’s annual energy demand.
Architecture has a role to play in shaping healthier communities and a more resilient planet. We’re proud to see these two projects celebrated for putting that responsibility into practice.
