    Recognition that clients value

    An independent distinction strengthens your credibility with clients and helps attract talent who want to join a recognized team. Research shows that design recognition has measurable value: buildings by award-winning architects sold at a 23.1% premium in Manhattan, and distinctive buildings sell at a 15% premium on average.
