Craig Gaulden Davis, together with MGA Partners, won an Honor Award for its design of the 120,000-square-foot Hughes Library (of the Greenville County Library System). Existing structures on the campus used materials including concrete, salmon-colored brick and red brick. The new library reflected the different color palettes and the architecture surrounding it. A large serpentine wall containing the three brick colors of the campus serves to unify the different architectural elements. The library's exterior uses vibrantly colored brick in a large-scale pattern creating continuity with the wall.

Craig Gaulden Davis received an Honor Award for its design of the new Prince of Peace Catholic Church in Taylors. Brick was used wherever warmth, scale and color were called for, including the exterior veneers, interior partitions and other details adjacent to the altar and sanctuary. Other interior finishes included pre-cast concrete, salt-finished concrete, slate, painted steel and mahogany. The 1,200-seat church, 60-seat chapel and support structures are organized around an elevated, elliptical lawn and landscaped interior walk.
