Uptown’s architects, Voith & Mactavish (V&M), are among this year’s recipients of the 2026 Arthur Ross Award for Excellence in the Classical Tradition, awarded by the Institute of Classical Architecture & Art (ICAA).
Voith & Mactavish, which won in the architecture category, was noted for “architecture that expresses innovation in the context of tradition.” The ICAA noted that V&M has stayed true to their vision “by designing environments that support contemporary uses and carefully respond to the cultural and physical contexts of each site.”
This is the 45th year that the ICAA has bestowed these awards, dubbed the Academy Awards of the design world. Awardees are selected from an international slate and receive the honor for a body of work and consistent advancement of design in traditional idioms.
Earlier this year, V&M senior partner John Cluver–lead architect on the Uptown project–was named to the American Institute of Architects’ College of Fellows, its highest membership honor.
