My vote is for Jay Bright Architects. All are great.
I vote for Seaside Village. I like the neat work. Very creative lighting lighthouse.
With so many "winners" the best I can do is to pick three.
*Cookie Cut (most architectural planning)
*Winter at the lake (most poetic)
*Seaside village (most evocative of memories)
My vote for Team Squirrel! I just love the house with the balloon!
great work for a great cause.
My vote for Jay Bright Architects!
