Living on the Edge: Coastal Residential Design Awards Celebration
About this Event
Celebrate the Best of California Coastal Residential Design
Join AIA Long Beach/South Bay for a very special evening celebrating the winners of the 2026 Living on the Edge – Coastal CRAN Design Awards, honoring outstanding residential architecture along the California coast.
Hosted at Western Architectural Openings’ Santa Monica Design Studio, the evening will bring together architects, designers, industry partners, and friends for a celebration of exceptional coastal residential design—with plenty of time to connect over drinks and appetizers.
A highlight of the evening will be a special presentation by Living on the Edge jurors Frances Anderton and Jennifer Siegel, who will share their perspectives on this year’s submissions, the qualities and ideas that rose to the top, and the evolving story of residential design along California’s coast. Together, they will also present the 2026 awards and recognize this year’s winning projects and design teams.
With an inspiring setting, two distinguished jurors, exceptional architecture, and a room full of colleagues and friends, this promises to be a memorable celebration of design, place, and life along the California coast.
Valet parking will be provided.
We hope you’ll join us for this special evening!
