2007 International Excellence in Masonry Award
Project: Stockyard, LLC
Architect: Sherman Carter Barnhart PSC, Lexington
Judges Comments:
The jury was immediately struck by the overall impact of the building and we’re even more impressed with the masonry detailing and execution. The use of a strong base of brick masonry and the detailing of the clay tile water table was spectacular. The thickness of the arches implies a load bearing order inherent in the strength of masonry but rarely used in today is single-wythe veneers. The use of header courses in contrasting slate-colored brick breaks up and otherwise tremendous facade. The corbelling at the roof completes the initial strong point at the base of the building — resolving the large planar walls without the need for superficial ornament were out-of-plane moves common in building today. The windows are inset into the wall providing the shadow line that showcase the multi-wythe construction of the walls. The overall form in construction invoke the word of Botta without being derivative. It is an appropriate reference.
2006 AIA Kentucky Citation Award

Judges Comments:
Clear evidence of the joy of working with masonry. This office building distinguished itself by the relationship between the masonry shell and the interior. This was uniquely announced by the sky-lit area at the entry. The imagery recalled warehouse structures and possibly the stockyard buildings originally at the site. We would also like to compliment the project as a catalyst for future development, setting the stage for revitalization.
