2004 Exceptional Design Awards Winners
The design jury for the 20th annual Fairfax County Exceptional Design Awards Program recently selected four entries to receive awards for exceptional architectural and site design. The design awards program is sponsored by the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors and administered by the Department of Planning and Zoning in cooperation with the Architectural Review Board and the Northern Virginia Chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
