RAVE Awards 2008

The 2008 Residential Architects Vision and Excellence (RAVE) Awards brought out the best in local designers. Check out these web exclusive shots of the gorgeous homes!

We had so many beautiful shots of the homes that won 2008 Residential Architects Vision and Excellence (RAVE) Awards, but we couldn’t fit all of them into the story that ran in our August issue. So, we put together slide shows for each of the ten winners.

The RAVE awards program, sponsored by the Minnesota chapter of the American Institute of Architects and Mpls.St.Paul Magazine, includes an evening program August 13 at the MacPhail Center for Music in Minneapolis. For ticket information, click here.
