Knight, Duffy and Gossing Take Top 2009 Parade Awards
Leading the pack with 12 awards, Kevin Knight was the standout in the crowd at the annual awards ceremony that took place tonight at the 2009 BIA Parade of Homes preview party at Tartan Ridge in Dublin. Knight’s generational farm house with reclaimed wood floors, a live roof garden, an 18 foot retractable wall into a central courtyard garden, unique floor plan and overall design set the entry apart.
Duffy Homes by Michael Edwards with its French country chateau adorned with original antiques from Provence, dramatic interior stone wall, elegant first floor master suite and functional floor plan came in with eight awards.
Gossing Construction, which won best exterior architecture for its unique craftsman-style approach, also won five more awards highlighting it’s stunning entryway, greatroom and inviting arts & crafts interiors.
Below you will find a complete list of all award winners and accompanying photos for each category. We encourage you to make sure to visit the Parade to see these building, design and landscape awardees in person.
Many thanks to the nine judges (listed with the awards) who took a whole day out of their busy schedules to help with the judging on Wednesday. Touring eleven homes with a critical eye was a big job and we appreciate their service to the BIA!

Calgon, are you there?
We know that the five-year old and under crowd love a good bath. But we are curious about the other 80% of your household residents. Does anyone really use these tubs? The homebuilders seem to think it is up for debate, despite finding one in every master suite.
Here are some from Coppertree, Duffy/Michael Edwards, M/I Homes, Stafford and Compass. We didn’t get a photo of the only iron tub we saw at Romanelli & Hughes’ home – but they seem to be the only one ambitious enough to lug it upstairs to their master.
Spectacular tile, granite and more.
These photos, taken at Duffy/Michael Edwards, Romanelli & Hughes and Stafford’s homes demonstrate the really amazing finishes that the homebuilders are choosing for this year’s parade. We’ll be sharing a lot more of these details every day between now and the parade. Make sure to check back often – and plan to come in July!
Impressive facades
The exterior facades of the Parade homes are pretty much completed. Of course things will look much more impressive after the landscaping is installed and the sod is laid. Even without all the plants and trees, it’s pretty easy to get an idea of how imposing these homes really are.

Things to look for in July
There’s plenty of dust on the floor and busy craftsmen – it’s all a work in progress. But there’s been enough started inside the Parade houses that it’s not too hard to imagine the final product.
Here’s a sampling of some of the items to look for at the July event.
Kevin Knight is using reclaimed wood from a variety of places for the entire main floor. Last week there were stacks of the wood waiting to be installed. This week it's all in place and even though there's quite a bit of dust, it's looking pretty impressive.
One of the stunning features of the Duffy Homes house is the stone wall that spans the entire length of the house and separates the great room from the kitchen and informal dining area.
The Stafford Group has a loft area in the second floor that overlooks the kitchen on one side and the great room on the other. Obviously there will be some sort of railing put in place.
