We’re thrilled to announce that DiMella Shaffer We’re thrilled to announce that DiMella Shaffer has received two AIA Design for Aging Review Awards—for The Baldwin and The Pryde!

These projects reflect our deep commitment to designing inclusive, engaging environments that enhance the quality of life for older adults.

The Baldwin is a walkable, mixed-use Life Plan Community that fosters independence and connection in a vibrant, multigenerational setting.
 
The Pryde reimagines a historic school into a welcoming, affordable home for LGBTQ+ seniors—celebrating identity, community, and belonging.

Thank you to the @aianational and everyone who celebrated with us at the Gala. We’re proud of our team members who worked so hard to bring these two projects to life, and it was great to share this recognition with our incredible clients and collaborators!
