Tonight Mayor Michael Hancock and Denver's Community Planning and Development Department will honor fifteen projects for excellence in architecture, design and place-making during the 2014 Mayor's Design Awards ceremony at The Studio Loft of the Denver Performing Arts Complex. "This year's winning projects are phenomenal examples of what makes Denver a vibrant city," Mayor Michael Hancock said in announcing the winners. "From homes to restaurants to community gathering places, this city is developing such unique places for the Denver community for years to come."
And unlike in previous years -- the awards have been handed out since 2005 -- the winners this year are largely new projects. See also: See the Winners of the 2013 Mayor's Design Awards/em>
