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!

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.
