“We are very honored to be recognized by our peers for design excellence in our work. Receiving these awards is a testament to the visionary clients with whom we have the privilege to collaborate and the talent of our Multistudio teams who are committed to achieving design excellence in early conceptual design, detailing, construction, and storytelling,” said Multistudio Principal Kelly Dreyer.
Last night, Multistudio proudly took home four awards at the 2025 AIA Kansas City Design Excellence Awards, celebrating thoughtful design and impactful community architecture.
This award celebration is AIA Kansas City's signature annual event, drawing 400 people from the design community. Each year, the committee convenes a jury and coordinates the celebration to honor the best in architecture and design.
