We are proud to share that the St. Petersburg Pier Approach we designed was awarded an Excellence on the Waterfront Award by the Waterfront Center. The awards program recognizes top-quality planning, design, and development work from around the world. An interdisciplinary jury judges entries on sensitivity of the design to water, quality of design, civic contribution, environmental benefits, cultural enrichment, and degree of difficulty.

W’s design transformed a former parking lot into a vibrant civic space in between the city’s downtown and the new pier. You can view all of this year’s winners here, and you can see Barbara Wilks present W’s design for the Pier Approach as part of the Excellence Awards ceremony here.
