Design, Sustainable Living, and Wildfire Resilience Awards Gala
Wednesday, April 15, 6:00pm
Piedmont Community Hall, 711 Highland Avenue

Each year, the Planning Commission recognizes a small number of exemplary projects with a Design Award. Projects selected for awards reflect the highest level of design excellence among all that have come before the Commission for review. To be eligible for consideration, a project must conform to Piedmont’s design and planning guidelines and must have completed construction in the previous calendar year.

In 2024, a new dimension was added to the longstanding event, with the introduction of Sustainable Living Awards, which celebrate property owners who have incorporated green elements like heat pumps, solar panels, and greywater systems into their homes. This year brings another new element, with the introduction of the City’s first ever Wildfire Resilience Awards, which will recognize residents modeling home hardening and fire-smart landscaping best practices.

The gala is an opportunity to learn more about the projects selected for recognition, meet the contractors and design professionals who made them possible, and hear directly from property owners about their experiences.
