Mogavero Notestine Associates is honored to announce receiving the very prestigious “AIACV Honor Award 2013 for a significant Work of Architecture” pertaining to our affordable residential multi-family project called Maple Park in Live Oak, California. We were very grateful to be a part of the 2013 AIACC Residential Design Awards put on by the American Institute of Architects Central Valley Chapter.

The AIA California Council’s Residential Design Awards Program recognizes and celebrates outstanding achievements in residential architecture and design from firms and architects all over California.

“We are very proud of our Maple Park project and love seeing it gain positive recognition like this” said Architect and Project Manager, Sam Kingore. “It is not common for a rural affordable housing project with a modest budget to ever get recognition.  Here we were recognized for quality design, sensitivity to context and strength in creating a development that builds community.”

Maple Park is tucked away in rural Live Oak, only a few blocks from the main avenue. Prior to renovation, these were  30 wartime-era affordable housing units that were falling apart and slowing being abandoned. The site was transformed, providing 56 units of low income family housing in 3 story buildings.  Achieving lofty sustainability goals it will be Net Zero with the addition of solar PV and HW systems.
