Given COVID restrictions at the time of awards, the AIA were unable to host a physical event to celebrate such industry achievements. In light of the recent majorly improved COVID status in WA, Living Edge was proud to host the postponed AIA official afterparty.

It was our pleasure to host a gathering of esteemed architects, designers, and colleagues in celebration of the category winners and those nominated.
