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!

Builder Countdown with Romanelli & Hughes

For families with active and school-aged children, there’s a constant challenge to organize the myriad of papers, sports gear and other items that flow in and out of the house. The folks at Romanelli & Hughes put their heads together and pulled from their own practical experience to create the “Family Management Center”. See what Sarah Schnulo, Design Center Manager for Romanelli & Hughes, has to say about the ingenious idea.  (editor’s note:  the video segment does not include the full, walk-in pantry that is adjacent to this space, which completes the concept).

With approximately 50 fixtures to select, the folks at Capital Lighting have their work cut out for them. And so does Sarah.
