Gold Star Restaurants 2021
In many ways, the restaurant industry has come back to life, but it’s a new life.

In addition to rearranging indoor seating to allow for better spacing, we are seeing a marked shift toward increased outdoor dining options.

Everything Speaks Design
The entryway to a building is often spoken of as a face—it holds the features that connect to what’s inside, both literally and figuratively, both making an impression and providing access. Baptist Health, Baptist Medical Center Jacksonville, and Wolfson Children’s Hospital have a new entryway that is the face of the flagship medical complex.
Finding New Freedom in the Mountains
Liberty is defined as the quality or state of being free. The Special Liberty Project understands that, for veteran families, this word has specific impact. Many veterans and Gold Star families are not free from the struggles and grief of losing loved ones during or after active-duty military service. There is a place designed for them that hopes to foster a special liberty—a state of mentally being free brought about through therapeutic experiences in nature.
