The award is named for Lilian Rice, Rancho Santa Fe’s first architect and building commissioner. In the years since the award’s inception in 1993, the Lily Award has served to present models of the community’s standards as well as recognize excellent design.

The award is named for Lilian Rice, Rancho Santa Fe’s first architect and building commissioner. In the years since the award’s inception in 1993, the Lily Award has served to present models of the community’s standards as well as recognize excellent design.

The Country Squire Courtyard was built in 1923 and was designed by Rancho Santa Fe’s own Lilian Rice. It is a historic landmark in the heart of the Village area which features a distinctive treatment of arches. The owner has done a beautiful job preserving and maintaining its original charm.

The Rose residence is a Spanish Colonial Revival home built in 1934 and was designed by Gordon B. Kaufmann, a 1920s- and ‘30s-era architect. This home is most recognizable by the two large urns which sit at the entrance to the property. The residence was refurbished by the present owners who were careful to retain the integrity of the original design.
