This week’s contest was conducted in partnership with AIA South Dakota’s Design in the Hills committee, which helped inspire a journey through Black Hills architecture and design.
Thanks to all of the amazing entries sharing the beauty of the Black Hills, and thanks to the Black Hills & Badlands Tourism Association for graciously hosting the contest!
And a further to all of our Design in the Hills sponsors for your support. We hope to see you in person in the beautiful Black Hills in July 2021.


The Design in the Hills committee was formed in 2011 by architects, Kris Bjerke and Tanya Davis and interior designer Maggie Job. Over the years, many new faces have trickled through the committee as leadership in the AIA South Dakota organization has evolved, however Kris has been the anchor to an event which has become a much-anticipated gathering of designers in the Black Hills each summer. The current committee includes Ms. Bjerke, architect and AIA SD board members, Jenn Johnson, Brad Burns, and interior designers Jessica Bergeleen, Kelli Trebil, and AIA South Dakota executive director, Angela Lammers.
Beautiful!
