The AIA OC Design Awards (American Institute of Architects, Orange County Chapter) are held annually and honor "the exceptional commitment of its member architects who continually serve, shape, discover, and imagine contemporary solutions to the evolving needs of our living and working environments." Staffed by a committee panel of Orange County residents, this award recognizes not just the best ideas and designs, but specifically those that contribute to Orange County as a cohesive whole. As of the 2019 awards, Brandon Architects has been recognized for four projects, including three On-The-Boards projects and one constructed residence.
