AIA Colorado 2024 Young Architect of the Year, Maura Trumble, CCY Architects Partner

CCY Architects Partner, Maura Trumble, has been named the 2024 Young Architect of the Year by the American Institute of Architects of Colorado. Annually selected by a jury of AIA Colorado Board Members, this prestigious honor recognizes the individual achievements of an architect who has been practicing for fewer than 10 years, demonstrated exceptional leadership, and made significant contributions to their profession and community early in their career.

In 2023, Maura became the first female Partner in CCY Architects’ history. Since joining the firm in 2012, she has been an integral design leader at CCY. Working across typologies—namely hospitality, affordable housing, and private residential—she has carved out a unique place within the firm as well as the industry for her progressive, forward-thinking approach to design. A through line of her career has been community engagement, with many of her projects involving extensive public processes and consensus building.

In addition to her design leadership, Maura is a critical member of the recruiting and sustainability initiatives in the office, continuing to advance equity in design and high-performance practices across project types.
