“Architecture & You,” a collaboration between AIA Florida’s podcast, “The Voice of Florida Architecture,” and the Florida Foundation for Architecture, highlights the value architects bring to society through conversations about their work, design process, and impact on communities. In the first of several episodes featuring selected 2026 AIA Florida Design Awards recipients, hosts Rhonda Hammond, AIA, and Stephen Hruby, AIA, welcome Melissa Brillhart, AIA, and Jacob Brillhart, AIA, of Brillhart Architecture.
The conversation focuses on Morningside Residence in Miami, recipient of the Honor Award for Excellence for New Work. The architects discuss their collaboration with the clients, the design process and how they incorporated privacy, natural light and sustainable features into a contemporary home within a historic neighborhood.
Listen to learn more about the project and the role architects play in creating spaces that respond to their clients’ needs and the surrounding environment.
