On Wednesday, February 3, California Home + Design hosted nearly 300 members of the state’s design community to announce and celebrate the 10 winners of the magazine’s fifth annual design awards. Held inside the Galleria Atrium of the San Francisco Design Center, attendees enjoyed wine, cocktails and hors d'oeuvres and got their first look at the new February/March issue, which features in-depth stories and jaw-dropping photo spreads of each of the winning projects. During the ceremony, Editor in Chief Sarah Lynch presented the winners with a silver box engraved with their firm name and award, as well as a $1,500 gift certificate from Istanbul Rugs.

Thank you to all who submitted and congratulations to the winners of the fifth annual CH+D Awards.
