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!
An in-ground swimming pool, outdoor kitchen, pub off the family room and gracious living space for all family members has created a vacation and primary home all in one. Watch this video of Doug Annette from New England sharing the inspiration for their home design.

As the builders finish their exteriors and head inside their homes, we thought we’d share a few of the exterior details they are bringing to the parade this year. Clearly, there will be no shortage of interesting, eye catching architecture and finishes!

At least it was no problem for the photographer, who stayed in her car on April 15…these builders continue to work at a feverish pace to be ready for a July 11 opening. Kudos to them and here’s to some sunny days ahead.
