Knight, Duffy and Gossing Take Top 2009 Parade Awards

BIA Homes — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 02:42:21 +0000

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!

WBNS – 10TV: Outdoor Spaces

BIA Homes — Sun, 05 Jul 2009 14:04:17 +0000

On July 4th WBNS-10TV aired Tracy Townsend’s fourth feature on the 2009 Parade on outdoor living spaces. While the interiors are exquisite, these homes also hold dozens of unique exterior features that deserve recognition. From outdoor kitchens and pizza ovens to inground pools and fire places, the ideas are endless. Watch here to learn more and refer to WBNS-10TV’s site for more videos and stories on this year’s parade.

Yep, we got a place for that.

This year’s parade builders are giving BUILT-IN some new meaning. From the ‘family management center’ to the key garage and reading/hiding nook to the elaborate closets, wine cellars, kitchen pantries, recessed wall for family photos, traditional book shelves and window seats, this year’s parade has kept the woodworkers hopping. Oh, and not to mention, gives professional organizers some new dreams.

Pubs & Wine Cellars

BIA Homes — Thu, 25 Jun 2009 20:30:57 +0000

In this year’s parade homes entertaining will be a priority, if the real estate devoted to wine cellars and pubs is any indication (and lots of open spaces not pictured here). Below are a few of the spaces we found dedicated to those highly social moments in life.

Impressive facades

BIA Homes — Fri, 29 May 2009 16:36:55 +0000

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.

Treasure hunting at Garth’s Auction House

BIA Homes — Wed, 22 Apr 2009 14:55:36 +0000

A recent visit to Garth’s Auctioneers and Appraisers in Delaware revealed a treasure trove of great decorating items. Garth’s is presenting a home in this year’s Parade along with builder New England Homes. The partnership means the home will be decorated using a variety of items from the auctioneer’s expansive collection.

We visited Garth’s on the day they were doing their bi-monthly Eclectic Auction (the next one’s scheduled for June 5, by the way.) Watch the video to learn how you can incorporate antiques into your interior design.
