Nurture Honored at 2025 AIA Illinois Annual Conference
Nurture was honored that AIA Illinois recognized the South Shore Beach House with the 2025 Honor Award for Greatest Impact, Project Construction Value Below Five Million Dollars. Designed for the Chicago Park District, the 2,500 SF seasonal pavilion blends lifeguard, concessions, and restroom spaces into a harmonious environment that engages the shoreline and strengthens the connection to the golf course.
In addition to this recognition, Nurture President April Hughes and Principal Kelly Moynihan presented their session at the AIA Illinois Annual Conference, “Retrofit to Regenerative Habitat: A Commitment to a PHIUS Forward Future,” exploring how LEED, PHIUS, and Living Building Challenge strategies can transform existing buildings and landscapes into carbon-neutral, regenerative environments.
