RECOGNITION & NEWS
CSA Partners is an award-winning architecture firm with a body of work that has been recognized by national and international publications, institutions, and design juries for over two decades. Our recognition spans both our Chicago studio and our partner practice in India, reflecting the range of typologies we work across, from religious and cultural architecture to institutional and residential design.
We’ve had six competitive design processes, judged on ideas alone rather than existing client relationships. Publications like Dezeen, Architectural Digest, the Chicago Tribune, Faith & Form, and Indian Architect & Builder have featured our work, alongside recognition from institutions such as the Yale Institute of Sacred Music, validation that spans both the popular press and the architecture profession itself.
Below is a selection of the press coverage, awards, and honors CSA Partners has received since 2001, organized chronologically.

Pavilion designer Hammond Beeby Rupert Ainge Architects (HRBA) describes the buildings as two minimalist-style, black-glazed cubes. The PV modules will be integrated with the glass facades on the outside surfaces. “All of the black on the facades you see is PV. We think it is perhaps the first of its kind in Chicago, perhaps even in Illinois,” said HBRA architect Cyrus Subawalla.
