In fact, the firm’s North Carolina Museum of Art project is one of only ten projects to have been awarded a 2011 AIA Honor Award, the organization’s highest recognition for building design. The AIA commented that the building’s interior’s “gently luminous setting,” the result of natural light that is filtered through hundreds of elliptical oculi in the ceiling, and the way in which its exterior, enclosed in matte aluminum panels, “continue the discourse with the landscape” and offers “unexpected and scintillating reflections.” Since opening in April 2010, the project has dramatically transformed the visitor experience of both the Museum itself and the 164-acre park in which it is sited, and with which West Building is visually and experientially integrated. Surrounded by five courtyards, each of which seems to enter the structure, the museum is a strong example of Phifer’s desire to blend the natural with the artificial.

From smaller scale residences to larger scale courthouses or pavilions, Phifer’s design principals and strategies emphasize a sense of inspiration gained from the environment teamed with providing an elegantly functional structure. Phifer notes that each project provides the opportunity to push limitations and expectations, “It becomes the architect’s responsibility to continually challenge the client and the design team to appropriateness and invention.” It is a way of design that offers thoughtful and refined architecture.

事實上,該公司的北卡羅來納州藝術博物館項目是獲得2011年AIA榮譽獎的十個項目之一,該獎項是該組織對建築設計的最高認可。美國建築師協會評論說,該建築的內部“輕微發光的環境”,自然光的結果,通過天花板上的數百個橢圓形天窗過濾,其外部,由亞光鋁板包圍,“繼續與自2010年4月開放以來,該項目已經極大地改變了博物館本身和占地164英畝的公園的遊客體驗,以及西樓的視覺效果和景觀,並提供了“意想不到的閃閃發光的反思。”經驗整合。博物館周圍有五個庭院,每個庭院似乎都進入了建築物,是Phifer希望將天然與人工融為一體的強有力的例子。

從較小規模的住宅到較大規模的法院或展館,Phifer的設計原則和策略強調從環境中獲得的靈感,提供優雅的功能結構。 Phifer指出,每個項目都提供了推動限制和期望的機會,“建築師有責任不斷挑戰客戶和設計團隊的適當性和發明。”這是一種設計方式,提供了周到和精緻的架構。
