Architectural Collaborative

Arcollab was honored to bring home not just one, but 3 Awards of Architectural Distinction from this year’s AIA Atlanta awards gala! We were recognized in the categories of Educational & Research Facilities for the Braselton Library, Single-Family Contemporary for the Moriera Guest House, and Civic & Government Buildings for the Braselton Grist Mill. It was a big night for our small firm and the communities we serve. Thank you to our team, consultants, and clients for making this possible.

Arcollab is excited to announce that 3 of our projects have been chosen as finalists for the Awards for Architectural Distinction by AIA Atlanta. The Braselton town offices addition to an historic grist mill, the children's wing addition to the Braselton Library, and the Moreira Guest House have all been chosen among the top projects submitted by Atlanta-area firms in 2025. We're thrilled to have our hard work recognized, and we are so thankful to our visionary clients who support good design in smaller towns and cities across Georgia.

The Braselton Public Library was highlighted by the national Library Journal as an outstanding example of library design. "This year’s crop of libraries demonstrates a continued commitment to the well-being of library workers and patrons through biophilic design, a tried-and-true construct to connect people with nature in hopes of improving human health."

We're honored for our work to be recognized by the Library Journal. Congratulations to the Piedmont Regional Library System and the Town of Braselton. It's a pleasure working with y'all!
