Before 39 Via Hermosa, Russ Rettig - Stan Nielsen, Nielsen Architects After Photos provided

As one of her last acts as Mayor, Sue Severson recognized five newly remodeled homes in Orinda with the 2009 Mayor's Award for Architectural Excellence. The award was established three years ago by then Mayor Steve Glazer to recognize residential designs that make an extraordinary contribution to the character and livability of the city's neighborhoods. Two Council members, Sue Severson and Tom McCormick, a member of the Planning Commission, Carlos Baltodano, and a local landscape architect, Nora Harlow, judged the entries. The remodels were placed in two categories: major and miner projects. The winners are presented in the sidebar and before and after photos of many of the homes are posted on the Lamorinda Weekly website, www.lamorindaweekly.com.
A call for submissions for the 2010 architectural awards will be issued in late spring of next year.
