Collins College Interior Design Instructor Wins Project of the Year
Award
TEMPE, Ariz. (Business Wire EON/PRWEB ) April 2, 2008 --
Matthew G. Trzebiatowski received Project of the Year from “residential
architect” Design Awards (RADA) for his
own home. Trzebiatowski, AIA, is the principal of his own architectural
design firm blank studio and is an adjunct instructor for Collins
College’s school of Interior Design.
Trzebiatowski’s home, named Xeros Residence
(xeros means dry in Greek), is located in Phoenix, Arizona, and blends
in with the stark beauty of the desert. The cutting-edge glass-front
house stands 30 feet high and overlooks the Phoenix Mountain Preserve.
The home’s overall design emphasizes simple,
unusual solutions and displays an experiential use of space and
materials. Trzebiatowski applies this philosophy to all of his
architectural designs in his private practice, blank studio.
The ninth annual “residential architect”
Design Awards received more than 1,300 entries in 15 categories. Just 36
projects were singled out for accolades, making RADA one of the most
competitive residential architecture awards program in the country.
Trzebiatowski won the top honor, Project of the Year award.
Trzebiatowski has received national and international recognition for
Xeros Residence. He is among a small group of artists who were selected
for publication in Booth-Clibborn’s book “Phoenix:
21st Century City.”

selected for “Architectural Record,”
Record Houses 2006; 2007 World Architecture News, House of the Year
Award; 2006 AIA Arizona, Honor Award; and 2006 AIA Western Mountain
Region, Honor Award. In addition, numerous articles have been written
