3 Schmidt Design Group Projects Win Orchid Awards!
Schmidt Design Group is deeply honored and proud to share that three of our projects were recognized with an Orchid Award by the San Diego Architectural Foundation (SDAF) Orchids and Onions Awards Program: SDSU Mission Valley River Park, Creekside Park, and Tecolote Shores South Playground! A huge thank you the Orchids & Onions jury, SDAF, and to the project teams who helped make each of these projects a success!
Additionally, artist Janelle Inglesias’ artwork TEXT/TILE, featured at the Pacific Highlands Ranch Branch Library, was awarded an Orchid for Public Art. It was a true joy to work alongside Janelle and the entire PHR Library team! A final congratulations to our wonderful clients and all our talented consultant teams who we share this honor with.
