The Washington Fruit & Produce Co. headquarters in Yakima is surrounded by earth berms. A wall on the site directs views upward toward the basalt hills — and away from nearby freeways and buildings.

Eleven projects won 2017 Gray Awards, a cross-disciplinary, regional design awards program organized by Gray Magazine.

Designers and manufacturers submitted projects in 10 categories, plus a Design for Good category.

Design professionals, including Philippe Starck, Ingo Maurer, Deborah Berke, Karim Rashid, Vicente Wolf, James Corner, Roman Alonso, Steven Johanknecht and Olivia Kim, worked with the publication's editorial team to select the winners.
