On April 24, Arizona Masonry Council hosted its 34th Annual Excellence in Masonry Architecture Awards at the Arizona Biltmore in Phoenix.

Attending the event, Line and Space Principals Henry Tom and Johnny Birkinbine were joined by Marty Klell of Pima County Facilities Management and Paul Pena from Lloyd Construction Company, Inc.. We were honored to receive the 2026 Excellence in Masonry Award for the recently completed Pima County Northwest Service Center in Tucson, AZ.

The project reflects a commitment to material honesty, craft, and long-term resilience. Through the preservation of the former bowling alley’s existing basalt stone masonry wall and the integration of new exposed concrete masonry construction, the project establishes a contemporary civic landmark rooted in Tucson’s desert context and architectural heritage.

We feel a tremendous level of gratitude for the talented people who helped realize this project.

Thank you to the Arizona Masonry Council for this recognition.
