Elizabeth Wins AIA Award

We are so pleased to annouce that Elizabeth DiSalvo, our founder and principal, has been honored with the 2025 AIA Connecticut Women in Architecture Award, which celebrates exceptional women shaping the future of the built environment.

AIA Connecticut describes the award as a recognition of architectural talent and the vital role women play in designing inclusive, resilient, and inspiring spaces—through excellence in design, leadership, and a lasting commitment to equity and sustainability.

Elizabeth was honored for leading Trillium with a clear, driving mission: to push the boundaries of sustainable architecture and make environmental responsibility not just expected—but desired. Trillium's award-winning work consistently merges high design with bold, forward-thinking practice.

Jury members praised this year’s recipients for their clarity of vision, depth of impact, and dedication to social and environmental responsibility. From transformative public spaces to thoughtfully detailed residences, the selected work underscores the power of design led by empathy, intelligence, and integrity.

The 2025 honorees exemplify what it means to lead with purpose. Through innovative projects, advocacy, and mentorship, they reflect the evolving landscape of architecture—a profession increasingly defined by diverse voices and a shared goal of improving lives through design.
