New York swept the design categories at this year's James Beard Awards: architect Andre Kikoski took home Outstanding Restaurant Design for the Wright at the Guggenheim (featured in HD's March issue) and Pandiscio Co. won for Outstanding Restaurant Graphics for the Standard Grill. "The Wright is about a meaningful dialogue between contemporary art and iconic architecture, which is a unique set of conditions in which to design a project. Taking inspiration from each, we resolved these elements in a unified design, and created an innovative environment that transforms both the dining and the museum experience," explains Kikoski, adding that he is ecstatic and inspired by the win. 'The result is a very special place that truly does set the Wright apart."
