From a submission pool of 500, only 23 were awarded for 2015, with some firms winning in more than one category. This type of award could either be like a very flattering compliment at this point for some firms or as a hallmark of approval that they've made a name for themselves. Regardless, the Institute Honor Awards continue to highlight projects that set the bar.</p><p>Architecture: 28th Street Apartments; Los Angeles by Koning Eizenberg Architecture, Inc.</p><p><img title="" alt="" src="http://cdn.archinect.net/images/514x/fj/fjodubrt2u16ocfj.jpg"></p><p>Interior Architecture: Louisiana State Museum; Natchitoches, Louisiana by Traha...</p> https://archinect.com/news/article/99666629/winners-announced-for-the-2014-new-zealand-architecture-awards Justine Testado 2014-05-12T20:52:00-04:00 >2014-05-19T21:59:10-04:00 <img src="https://archinect.gumlet.io/uploads/c5/c5ubksre8fzskapk.jpg?fit=crop&auto=compress%2Cformat&enlarge=true&w=1200" border="0" /><em><p>Winning at the New Zealand Architecture Awards -- the country's most prestigious architectural competition -- must feel like winning the lottery.
