2023 Winner | AIA-SA CRAN (Custom Residential Architects Network) Award 
Multi-Family Structure Category SoJo Commons earned the 2023 CRAN Award, a top honor given each year by the Custom Residential Architects Nework and AIA-San Antonio to recognize the best residential buildings. What makes our project noteworthy is the combination of forward-thinking, contemporary architecture and its intentional engagement with a public realm created by its intervention. By fully developing our side of a traditionally non-residential street, we created the beginnings of an attractive urban residential neighborhood where none had previously existed.

Winner | 2025 AIA-SA Community Impact Award

What sets our design strategy apart? A multidisciplinary approach, bringing together experts in planning, architecture, landscape architecture, and interior design to solve for innovation. Phase Two development of the San Antonio Humane Society campus offered a rich opportunity to build on earlier success, and to continue to innovate. Our master plan sites the Leeu Naylor Medical Building adjacent to the Adoption Center. The buildings are connected by an interior corridor of landscaped courtyards along the gently sloping landform, a key characteristic of campus circulation.

In San Antonio’s semiarid part of the world, cycles of rainfall and deep drought are a fact of life. Still, in a city proud of our green lawns and lush golf courses, water conservation has traditionally been a tough sell. San Antonio Botanical Garden’s WaterSaver Community promotes low-water-use landscaping to local homeowners in a relatable neighborhood setting.
