The Design Pittsburgh People's Choice Award is your opportunity to weigh in on some of the recently designed (or redesigned) places and spaces in our community. Architecture is a part of our daily environment and we want to hear from you what good design means to you.
As you look through the projects submitted, ask yourself: Does the project inspire you? Would you enjoy spending time in that space? How does the project enhance or serve our community?
Designed first and foremost for well-being, Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Cincinnati (RMH) provides patients, parents, and siblings with community, meals, and emotional support as they undergo treatment at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center. Some families stay for months, others, years. More than a place to sleep, RMH gives families spaces to live life, from celebrating birthdays, anniversaries (and sometimes graduations) and good news, to processing setbacks. Tears, and tears of joy, are embraced here. More than just increasing the number of bedrooms, this project supports well-being by providing the comforts of home for families coming to Cincinnati from across the country and around the world. Inside and out, RMH is a home away from home where parents, siblings, and caregivers can find respite, movement, and connection after a long day at the hospital.
