Through our partnership with Seattle magazine, AIA Seattle shares our members’ work with a discerning audience and provides connections to local clients who are interested in working with an architect. Projects selected through the Home of Distinction program are showcased to Seattle magazine’s 270,000 readers and 175,000+ monthly online visitors.
Join us in communicating the value of working with a licensed architect by submitting to the Home of Distinction program! Apply by January 27, 2021.
Eligibility
AIA Seattle members, Member Firms, and Non-members are invited to submit innovative residential design solutions from across the Puget Sound Region to be highlighted in Shelter, a bi-monthly section in Seattle magazine.
To reflect the homes within the Puget Sound Region that AIA Seattle member firms and architects serve, the Home of Distinction program seeks submissions of projects for homes of all scales and types. Projects that were completed in the last five years will be considered for publication, including designs for new or renovated homes of all architectural styles, single rooms, outdoor spaces, and even furniture, hardware, or design objects.
Selected projects will be featured in the May / July / September 2021 issues of Seattle magazine.
Why Submit?
- Each selected residential design will be presented as a “Home of Distinction” in Shelter, as well as in an article and image gallery on seattlemag.com.
- Seattle magazine will publish resources to connect their readers and website visitors with the architects behind the designs.
- Each Home of Distinction will be featured on the AIA Seattle website and social media platforms.
- Even homes that aren’t selected as Homes of Distinction are of interest to the magazine for other articles and potential for publication as well.
