At a recent awards ceremony hosted by the Northern California Chapter of the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art, The Wiseman Group was given a Julia Morgan Award for their work in interior design. The awards, named for nationally renowned Bay Area architect and classicist Julia Morgan, seek to recognize and laud contemporary excellence in the classical tradition of design. Some of the Bay Area's most creative architects, designers, artisans, and craftsmen as well as local students and patrons were honored at the ceremony, which was held at the beautiful Carolands Chateau in Hillsborough. According to the ICAA's Northern California website, "it is the goal of the Chapter that through continued exposure and recognition, these awards will laud practitioners for their work and educate both laymen and professionals about the enduring excellence, appeal and importance of the classical traditions in design and those who contribute to its advancement."
