Los Gatos Architectural Firm Snags Coveted Prize

LOS GATOS, CA — A Los Gatos architectural firm has snagged a coveted prize.

DERN Architecture + Development was awarded the American Institute of Architects Silicon Valley Interior Architecture Merit Award for Perry Lang's in Yountville, California.

The AIA Silicon Valley Design Awards program recognizes the outstanding achievements in architecture and design of Silicon Valley individuals and organizations and celebrates the distinguished work of architects and related professionals from afar who contribute to the framework of the local built environment.

"It was really wonderful to work with Michael (Dern) and team who understood my vision and translated into reality," said Chef Adam Perry Lang.

"We had many challenges as most projects have but we saw through them together constructively with sensible value engineering that held true to the concept with the end result kept intact."

The design team of Theresa Fatino Design and DERN along with Skyline Capital Builders brought the New American chophouse design to completion for the Estate Yountville in October 2019.

The project celebrates the turn of the century, from 1890 to early 1910, when the steakhouse was born. The architectural features of the historic estate were brought to life with a modern touch.

The design offers a casual, yet refined setting reminiscent of a private club in the heart of Yountville.
