“AT HOME's Architect and Design Awards is the only local contest that allows St. Louis’ architects and designers to have their work reviewed by the best and biggest names in the business,” says Christy Marshall, editor-in-chef of St. Louis AT HOME. “This year, the judge’s panel included "Top Design" judge and design luminary Jonathan Adler, interior designer and author Charlotte Moss, architect Ron Radziner (who lists Tom Ford and Demi Moore among his celebrated clientele), world-renowned architect Marlon Blackwell and for the second year, the editors-in-chief of House Beautiful and Dwell. This city has an amazing depth of talent and it's our pleasure to show that expertise off to those who are tops in their respective professions. In just our second year of the Architect and Design Awards, we had more than 130 entries from 50-plus different firms. I can't wait to see what the numbers will be in 2010.”
