Our July cover story delves into the projects–and the creative minds behind them–that represent the winners of the inaugural A Hays Town Awards. These architects and designers hail from across the South, but their goal remains the same: To celebrate and carry forward the tenants of traditional design.

Extending beyond the realm of residential exteriors and interiors, the featured projects include churches, gardens and even a culinary school. For a look into each of the winning projects, check out the cover story here, or pick up a copy of the July issue, on newsstands now.
