Residential
First Place: Private Residence
Mason Contractor: Leonard Masonry, Inc., St. Louis, Mo.
Architect: Mitchell Wall & Associates Architects, Inc., Creve Coeur, Mo.
Judges Comments: Nice usage of materials. A nice and attractive blend of stonework, while introducing accent facing brick bands, window sills and head details. The design of this residence seems to flow naturally from the living areas to the garage area.
Honorable Mention: The Schilling Carmel Stone Chateau
Mason Contractor: Jamie DeMarla Masonry, Carmel, Calif.
Architect: Residential Design, Scottsdale, Ariz.
Second Place: South Kenwood Residence
Mason Contractor: Mahler Construction Co., Inc., Barrington, IL
Architect: Vinci-Hamp Architects, Inc., Chicago, M.
Judges Comments: Although consisting of totally facing brick, there is a close resemblance to Frank Lloyd Wright structures. The positioning of the building segments results in interesting offsets, projections and shadow effects. The quality of work also appears to be excellent. Each elevation has its own identity. It's a very interesting structure.

First Place: Amazon.com Tower Earthquake Repairs
Mason Contractor: Fairweather Masonry Company, Inc., Bellevue, Wash.
Architect: Zimmer Gunsul Frasca Partnership, Seattle, Wash.
Judges Comments: This structure incurred substantial damage as a result of an earthquake.
