Heritage Restoration and Design Studio has successfully requalified for the AWI QCP program. The Architectural Woodwork Institute creates and maintains standards for fine wood work construction. To qualify for the Quality Certification Program, AWI conducts many site visits to Heritage Restoration and Design Studio’s shops and larger projects to confirm that our work exceeds the standard. After this process is completed, architectural drawings, samples and full scale mockups need to be submitted to AWI for review. HRD was then required to complete multiple extensive written exams proving our knowledge in the design and millwork world. Every few years, Heritage has to go back and prove that we still meet the same standards of excellence. We have done it again!

With great joy, Heritage Restoration and Design Studio and the renovation teams at Unity Temple are proud to announce that we received the 2018 Docomomo "Special Award of Restoration Excellence." Throughout the past decade, the Unity Temple Restoration Foundation planned and prepared for the restoration of world-renowned architect Frank Lloyd Wright’s Unity Temple in historic Oak Park, Illinois. Under the orchestration of the premier historic architects, Harboe Architects, Chicago-based Project Management Advisors and the Berglund Construction Company, restoration companies like Heritage were entrusted with the task of bringing back to life this international symbol of early modern architecture. In a testament to the restoration, the work at Unity Temple spurred the creation of the Special Award of Restoration Excellence as the newest categorical award offered by the US national chapter of Docomomo. We at Heritage Restoration are honored to be apart of this project and to receive recognition for the work we performed.
