On Saturday, January 25, 2020, Abramson Architects' "Sapire Residence" was awarded one of the AIA’s San Fernando’s highest honors. In presenting the Honor Award for Residential Architecture, the AIA-SFV offered the following statement, “The level of the project extends well beyond local and regional success. And is well-deserving of the honor award bestowed by the jury.”
The Sapire Residence (aka The Palisades House) is a large, but informal, home that has been woven into the topography of the client’s dramatically sloping 2-acre site. The jury noted that, “The architect successfully balanced a 17,000 square foot home by terracing and breaking up the masses.” Other contributing factors include the use of simple materials and the home’s beautiful siting.
