Kahler Slater Honored with Four ASID Wisconsin Design Excellence Awards

Global Water Center Project Earns Platinum Award for Milwaukee Firm

MILWAUKEE – Teams from the Milwaukee and Madison, Wis. offices of architecture and experience design firm Kahler Slater received four awards – including a coveted Platinum Award, one Silver Award and two Bronze Awards – in the 2013 ASID Wisconsin Design Excellence Awards competition.

Presented by the Wisconsin chapter of the American Society of Interior Designers (ASID), the awards recognize outstanding interior design in such categories as corporate/office space, health care, retail and hospitality. Winners were chosen by a jury of ASID members from outside of Wisconsin. Projects were evaluated on the appropriateness of the design solution; functional use of space; innovative and creative use of space, scale and proportion; color composition; design elements; and commitment to sustainability.

Kahler Slater received the only Platinum Award of the 2013 competition for the Global Water Center in Milwaukee (Historic Renovation category). The Global Water Center is a historic former factory built in 1904, which has been renovated to become a contemporary space that houses offices, a university laboratory and business incubator suites.

Other award-winning Kahler Slater projects were in the Corporate/Offices and Healthcare/Medical categories.

Kahler Slater was honored with a Silver Award for redesigning and refreshing a portion of Samsung Telecommunications America’s headquarters in Richardson, Texas.

Kahler Slater also earned Bronze Awards for accounting firm Baker Tilly’s new offices in the U.S. Bank Center in downtown Milwaukee (Corporate/Office category) and for the renovation of the Holy Redeemer HealthCare at Bensalem ambulatory care facility in Bensalem, Pa. (Healthcare/Medical category).
