The annual awards induction ceremony and gala event took place on Thursday, November 10th in the State Room at Sixty State Street in Boston, Massachusetts.

Now celebrating its tenth year, the New England Design Hall of Fame honors the region’s finest architects, interior designers, landscape designers, and—new this year—custom builders, for their exceptional, high-caliber work and significant contributions to the distinction and prominence of the New England design field.

“I am humbled to be selected as one of such an esteemed group,” states DaSilva. “Having my body of work recognized in this way is gratifying, but the honor really goes to everyone at Polhemus Savery DaSilva for the talent, skill and commitment that make such a high level of design, construction and management possible.”
