Congratulations to Simona Mancini for winning the state-level NAWIC architectural competition! She was tasked to design a seven-story combination gymnastics training center, mall, apartment building, and parking garage. She added many flourishes, some subtle, like fireproof insulation, and others more bombastic, such as a rooftop garden and common courtyard. Her submission now gets forwarded for consideration on the New England regional level, and we are wishing her good luck!
