The spirit of Detroit’s creativity shined through once again at the 7th annual Detroit Home Design Awards held on March 25th at the magnificent Somerset Collection. Since its inception, DesRosiers Architects has been proud to participate in the company of other prestigious, local firms and their latest incarnations.
Founder and president Louis DesRosiers commented, “It’s been a tough year for Detroit, and for architecture. I’m thrilled to see that the passion for design continues to rise above that. We must all keep pushing the envelope.”
This year was another favorable one for DesRosiers Architects, who received a remarkable 18 awards across a range of categories and has won over 85 awards to date. Most awards recognized the firm’s meticulous eye for detail including a first in exterior use of stone, interior use of stone, great room design, and even the often overlooked utility room.
