Executive Director’s Message

Everyone should be familiar with the proverb instructing us, “Not to hide our light

and innovative residential designers, builders, remodelers, architects, developers, and interior under a bushel.” It comes from the Bible’s Sermon designers in the nation. At least all of the ones who on the Mount, and the phrase is prefaced with, enter.

“You are the light of the world, a city on a hill cannot be hidden.” This summer’s special issue of What saddens me is knowing that there are many the AIBD magazine, displaying the 2019 American more of us who create equally spectacular homes Residential Design Award winners, is a colossal and townhomes but are hiding their light under a glowing mountainside of brightly illuminated bushel.

Winning means prestige and more clients. Yes! Receiving an ARDA, particularly a Grand ARDA, is the most obvious benefit, of course. No doubt, your ability to add the words “award-winning” in front of your name or project leads to attention, respect, and ultimately more business. But even if you don’t win, the benefits continue to trickle down. For example, another regret of mine, my portfolio sucks! Sorry, let me rephrase that. My collection of work to present to potential clients is nonexistent. Had I been disciplined to take steps to enter awards programs, I would have had essential sales tools at my disposal. My business life would have been a lot more efficient and sales more comfortable to obtain. Regardless of winning, or even entering, I would have developed a good habit.

Finally, I share with you what I’ve learned from this experience. Let us commit to abandoning the darkside. Let us not conceal our talents and abilities by hiding our lights. We are the light of the world, at least the world of residential architecture. Also, thank you to the ARDA class of 2019 for lighting our paths. Together, let’s all shine and illuminate our industry with inspiration. #ItsOKToBeAwesome.

Modern Azimut (Best In S GRAND ARDA WINNER - Custom Homes, Indoor Living, and Outdoor Living DESIGNED BY R.G. Design and Freestyle Interiors PHOTOS BY Daniel Newcomb

The design intent was to capture the feel of a modern Cubist

design with an organic - warm feel. Large windows flow all the way from floor to the ceiling allowing natural light into the home from all directions. The home has a very modern feel. With a multitude of interior stone walls which will Carry from inside to outside, thus bringing the outside in. Water views are expected from almost every room. The elevator and stair provide access to the roof top deck which is only visible from the water side, offering 360-degree views for the occasional party or stargazing.

The pool will be raised to the level of the main floor with a disappearing 360-degree edge over flow. The pool also has a glass wall on the far edge offering an aquarium like feel as you

swim. The homes floor plan is a very open concept plan featuring no Formal spaces like a formal dining or living room. The private master offers an outdoor shower. The ceilings were done in a stained T&G Cypress. Laid out in a diagonal pattern to give it a more organic feel. The main floor features mega large format tile in 4 ft x 8 ft sizes. The second floor is wide plank natural wood at 15” widths. There is Glass floor above as you walk into foyer which allows you to see the amazing 30-foot-long custom led light feature. The second floor was solely intended for guest use offering three separate VIP suites and a guest lounge/ bonus room. This floor also will feature a future home theatre.

Luxury Brooklyn Brownsto GLOBAL CHOICE AWARD WINNER DESIGNED BY Dixon Projects PHOTOS BY Amanda Haycook

Built in 1881, this Queen Anne-style home presented the

Dixon Projects team with a unique canvas to design a home for our client, who desired a more modern home, but valued maintaining the original historic details. The result was an eclectic balance of old and new alongside specialty and antique pieces that were collected by the client over their travels. This massive 6,900-square foot home includes 5 bedrooms, 4 full and 2 half bathrooms, a fullycustom kitchen and pantry, an extensive master suite with a walk-in closet and bathroom, and a basement with a secondary kitchen and movie room. This gave the team plenty of room to satisfy the client and create a beautiful home in the process.

The original layout of the home did not optimize the square footage that this home had, leading Dixon to redesign the space in order to maximize the room available. To begin, the design team

removed the unnecessary staircase that went from the second floor to the kitchen to create extra closets and a bathroom spaces. The team also optimized the layout of the parlor floor by adding a sixfoot opening in to the load-bearing wall. This not only opened up the space, but improved the flow of the parlor floor. With 12-foot ceilings and extensive floor space, the client now has a beautiful entertainment space featuring a sixty-inch chandelier, marble fireplace, and newly-made vaulted ceiling that leads the living room into the dining area.

The design introduced subtle accents of brass which can be seen throughout the home; this is evident in the kitchen, which includes state-of-the-art appliances. With a 12-foot kitchen island comprised of cloudburst concrete stone counter top that had only been used in the United States a few times before this, another

one level of luxury was added to complement the fully-custom built-in cabinetry and pantry. By eliminating the masonry wall that leads to the rear yard and replacing it with custom aluminum French doors, much-needed natural light now highlights the beautiful focal point of this home: the kitchen.

There are so many beautiful elements of this home and through hard work and extensive coordination, the Dixon Projects team was able to deliver to the client not only their vision, but a product that far surpassed what was imagined. From the original woodwork, thoughtful accents, and state-of-the-art amenities, this massive home preserves the unique pre-existing elements of the home while bringing a modern feel that created the perfect space for this family.

40 East - Ad The existing building was built in 1979 and has had few updates

since. The building was designed to have 82 office suites ranging from 300 s.f. to 1500 s.f. Due to the existing four-story atrium inside the building - any updates would require adapting to the current building codes. The current code does not allow for 4 story atriums, so each floor would have to be enclosed.

The owner of the building has maintained an office for over 25 years and wanted to make the building more viable. We looked at multiple options - including maintaining offices, group home, rehabilitation facility, among others. It was finally settled on a Live Work design. Its close location to major city hubs, freeways, airport, bus routes, and major work centers make it an ideal candidate for a high density, multi-family design. However, the immediate neighborhood is in a transition. This new development will be the anchor to new projects that will be heavily promoted by the city.

In order to comply with municipality guidelines, the owner needed to acquire two adjacent parcels and rezone the entire project. The project was initially pitched to local council members and the new mayor. They vowed to support it and are very excited to see it become a reality.

20 - AIBD magazine

The final design will consist of 69 studio, one- and two-bedroom units and two three-bedroom penthouse suites. The penthouse suites will have some of the best views of city lights, mountains and airport of any residential project within a 10-mile radius. The first floor will also contain 10 office/retail suites. The goal of the project is to have a tenant of a unit to also have their onsite office or retail space.

The proposed development also has numerous “green� aspects.

Solar panels over the covered parking area, additional insulation for all units, 30+ bike parking spaces, on-site bus stop, storage space for E-bikes/scooters and a minimum of 4 car charging stations.

There will also be a 54 space underground parking facility.

This is one of the first projects in recent history that has received unanimous support from neighbors, planning & zoning commission and city council. All parties involved are excited to see this new revitalization to the area.

In contrast with the existing “shingle style” house, the owner seeks

a contemporary design for his new ADU (Accessory Dwelling Unit).

The new building shall replace the existing garage building located on the Northeast corner of the site. Modular construction with Structural Insulated Panes (SIPs) is proposed due to the project’s tight budget. Combining with the open and continuous floor plan, the project shall deliver an efficient living space. To further maximize the presence of natural light, a small light / planter well is craved into the space. The well is also meant to bring the outdoor elements into the interior.

Beekman is an urban infill project. Aesthetically, this home features an innovative take on today’s contemporary style of modern architecture. Utilizing a monochromatic color scheme, key elements are clad in a dark finish and are set apart by the home’s overall white horizontal siding. The home’s open staircase is highlighted in elevation above the front door via a large dark monolithic form, broken up by floor to ceiling walls of glass.

Despite a modest 30’x56’ footprint this home manages to have nearly 4000 square feet of accommodations and innovative spaces.

Taking the open staircase to the top grants access to a rooftop patio with views of the downtown scene while the window wall provides an abundance of light throughout the plan. Immediately

below, the upper level features a centrally placed common area surrounded by an office, master suite and two bedrooms complete with en suite.

Taking into consideration the urban setting of this home, the garage serves as a buffer to the common spaces where privacy is preferred. Neatly tucked behind the kitchen are the back of house areas including a walk-in pantry, garage access, lockers, cleaning closet, and storage.

Lastly, the entire lower level is reserved for recreational use and is anchored by a sitting area with a media display and linear fireplace.

Stylish Home GRAND ARDA WINNER - Custom Homes DESIGNED BY Todd Rice PHOTOS BY Todd Rice

“A contemporary house that uses the right steel windows. The interior is very nice” - Judges’ comment

30 - AIBD magazine

As

the trend towards transitional to contemporary modern design, a cleaner canvas with less or no period influence or regional ties is desired. The designer finds it increasingly important to anchor designs with reflections of the past or to peel back the smooth skin to see the foundation or roots of the structure. We can see this successfully in the use of exposed steel beams and the use of reclaimed wood and rusticated exposed brick. Not only does this

give a softer tone to the space it gives the occupant much needed detail to break up the static volumetric organization of spaces. The use of two story volume spaces also adds to the drama along with the thoughtful organization of space creates a very inviting and comfortable home that lives large and provides the occupants with visual stimulation the security and warmth of “home�.

English Revival GRAND ARDA WINNER - Custom Homes DESIGNED BY 42 North - Architecture + Design PHOTOS BY Bill Lindhout

This

home challenged a new generation of craftsmen to reproduce a Tudor’s complex details with all-brick English revival elements and state-of-the-art building practices. Capturing time-honored details was critical and this showcases successfully resolved, but daunting accomplishments.

Complex brickwork is uncommon in the area. The art of masonry was revived with distinctive herringbone and basketweave brick inlay crafted with full bed brick framed by cedar batten strips and decorative corbels. Trim detail is surrounded by steep gables and distinctive curved shingles. High, off-set fireplace chimneys with limestone shoulders are capped with traditional clay flue pots, and the peak of the steep 16/12 pitch roof achieved the look of

32 - AIBD magazine

slate with three-layer shingles. Custom-made limestone door headers and window surrounds frame beveled windows with the authentic appearance of leaded glass with old-style diamond pattern inserts.

A barrel vault foyer ceiling echoes the radius of the front window, paneled walls, and a sweeping curved stairway mark the formal Tudor influence of the home and its stunning first impression. The main floor is 3,200 square feet and after the auspicious entrance, becomes areas carved out for comfortable family entertaining, daily living, and private living spaces. Beamed coffered ceilings and masonry woodburning fireplaces add traditional details to these more informal spaces, including a large eat- in kitchen area. The master suite and bath face the lake but a strategically placed screened porch affords privacy while enjoying the lake breezes.

Spring Lake Estate GRAND ARDA WINNER - Custom Homes DESIGNED BY David Charlez Designs PHOTOS BY Space Crafting Photography

34 - AIBD magazine

This

custom estate home is stately and timeless. Built on 50 acres, this sprawling home nears 14,000 square feet. The classic exterior has a grand presence with the circular driveway and Porte Cochere entrance. The massive corbels, copper finials, stone detail and fireplace chase compliment the traditional classic look. The unique curved feature of the home houses a custom curved staircase, flooded with light from two stories of glass.

Outdoor living was a high priority for this client and incorporating an oversized deck, private balconies for the main level master bedroom and three of the upper level bedrooms along with lower level walkout kitchen, living, and bar area accomplished this goal.

The main level has an over sized kitchen with two islands, an upset ceiling detail and open great room for gathering spaces.

Off the kitchen is a large walk-in pantry and oversized laundry.

The two-story great room and foyer are divided by an upper

level catwalk with a custom designed iron rail. The architectural arch beams in the great room compliment the two-story custom arch windows with massive glass.

The upper level has three bedrooms plus a guest suite with a private bath and a kitchenette, which is conveniently located off the upper level family room. The upper level laundry services the entire upper level. An elevator is located by the back staircase and for use on all three levels.

“Very well done.

Proportioned well. Nice contemporary touches!”

- Judges’ comment

THE OFFICAL PUBLICATION OF THE AIBD - 35

American Residential Design Awards (ARDA) This

custom home is a thoughtful blend of traditional and modern features. The exterior elements are a combination of stone, metal, and James HardieTM siding and panel. A variety of roof styles include gable, shed roof, flat, and a barrel overhang on the rear of the home. The modern windows compliment the metal accent brackets and standing seam metal shed roof.

The interior details are stunning from the moment you step inside.

The foyer welcomes all who enter with a stunning view through to the back of the home, beyond the great room and the breathtaking view with floor to ceiling windows. The staircase is a winding showstopper to the right of the foyer with a custom combination of wood, metal, wire, and carpet. The outdoor living area has double door access from the great room and features a custom stone fireplace, stone pillars, vaulted ceiling, and drop down screens.

The kitchen, dining, and great room spaces are tied together with ceiling upsets detailed out with wood features. Entertaining is a breeze with a butler’s pantry and oversized pantry for storage and appliances. The main level sunken home office gives the owner

their own private space. Moving to the upper level, the master suite has a black barrel vault ceiling which carries through to the outdoor balcony. Floor to ceiling glass gives the owners a gorgeous view.

The upper level has three additional bedrooms, each with their own bath plus a reading nook loft for down time. The upper level laundry is oversized to accommodate this family of five.

The lower level has a wet bar which overlooks a sunken media room and is instrumental for close family time. The dramatic coffered ceiling catches everyone’s eye and definitely makes a statement.

Also featured is a sport court exercise room, guest bedroom, and ample storage space.

The garage is attached to the structure only by a covered breezeway.

This was done to create a clean and simple elevation without a garage competing for attention. Again, this contributes to the old world appearance of a house built before carports and garages became prevalent in single family construction.

“Kept the gable simple. The interior fits the exterior” - Judges’ comment

home was designed to work with the sun for daylighting and passive heating along with complimenting the amazing river views. The clients want a modern home to work with the site, the views, street access, and sun tempered/ goal net zero home design.

In this particular climate and latitude, the sun is encouraged into structures during the day, and typically diminished in the afternoon (not to overheat homes in the summer), unless there is a view to the west. The long axis of the home was exposed to the sun from early a.m. through mid-day and also late afternoon, while also not limiting the views to the river on the west side of the home.

At the main level, the kitchen, dining, living area are oriented to obtain passive solar gain during the day. The master bedroom has been located to the north since its a sleeping space and clients desired for the room to have a river view, but not overheat. The stair core is located to obtain passive solar gain throughout the day as

well, using the sun to illuminate the stairs and halls. Sunshades were developed to help block the sun externally for western windows without blocking the river view. The upper level bedrooms are associated to not overheat during the day and still have a river view.

The exterior walls are staggered studs’ walls at 10” thick to offer the best R- value. The clients also desired exteriors materials that complimented the northwest material pallet and as low maintenance as possible. Hardie products were used for siding, and north west douglas fir elements were brought in as accents (with deep staining and sealant to preserve from the sun exposure).

Throughout the summer, the clients power bills have only been $9.

During the winter, the power bills have been less than predicted (under $100) and one of the ductless heat pumps did not work all winter.

“The house is nicely proportioned. Nice low maintenance landscaping” - Judges’ comment

This home was a rare acquisition opportunity in a well-

known period community. When this opportunity arose, our client leapt to the offer. The home had a few excellent attributes in comparison to the surrounding properties. First, it is a corner lot and has a fabulous street command on the intersection. In addition, it has a detached garage when most houses in the

area have none. That’s about where the upside stops. Although in remarkable shape structurally, it is woefully lacking in living area; is marginally over its maximum for lot coverage and; the garage is actually a shared building with the neighbor’s property. Our side is a “workshop”, but their side of the property line is a storage building.

“I like the process in which they were able to talk about a female and a masculine thing... romantic and modern.” - Judges’ comment Located on a charming tree-lined block, these townhomes

originally functioned as a monastery for a neighboring church.

While in a dilapidated condition, one of these townhomes was filled with historic details and character, while much of that detail had unfortunately been destroyed in the neighboring property.

Where this historical detail still existed, these features heavily influenced the design of one of the townhomes, leading it to be a more traditional finish that enhanced the existing beauty. Because the townhome next door lacked these historic elements, it offered a clean slate for modern inspiration with a focus on designer architectural elements. The end result is two very different homes that feature masculine and feminine touches, balancing contrasting traditional and modern designs.

The “Her” townhome offers restored millwork and parquet flooring stuns upon entry as you make your way to a spacious living room, perfect for entertaining family and friends alike! Travel across gleaming updated parquet hardwood floors to an amenity-rich kitchen, where you’ll enjoy the luxury of brand-new stainless steel appliances. Ample custom cabinetry complete this culinary oasis.

Enjoy a quick meal at your massive breakfast bar or host a dinner party in the nearby dining nook, illuminated by large arched windows.

Directly next door, the modern “His” townhome, features a classic black-and-white design with natural wood accents creating an ultra-modern aesthetic and can be seen in every space throughout the house. The main level of this home showcases incredible design feat: a centrally located wood-cube that seamlessly houses the refrigerator and pantry in the kitchen, a powder room to service guests in the middle of the fixture and a wet bar with storage to entertain in the living area.

This

minimalist, modern townhome captures the essence of contemporary luxury. Designed for the trend-spotting, architecture enthusiast, the two-story, three-bedroom home is enveloped in bookmatched, hand-selected Volakas marble imported from Greece and boasts floor-to-ceiling windows designed to capture natural light. Exposed concrete offers an industrial yet luxurious feel and is complemented by Duchateau wood flooring throughout, glass walls and a steel stringer open tread staircase. The sleek and open design features an enclosed glass atrium wrapped with Arcadia curtain walls. Designed for entertaining, the kitchen opens up via pocketing doors to an expansive interior terrace and boasts Waterfall quartz countertops, Boffi Italian cabinetry and Miele appliances. The covered terrace features a floating Volakis marble fireplace allowing for year-round indoor/outdoor living.

Bedrooms are welcoming and spacious, with ample walk-in closets featuring EzyJamb doorframes and private terraces offering views into the adjacent award-winning park. The

master bath includes a quartz walk-in shower with Grohe fixtures, a luxurious MTI free-standing porcelain tub, marble wall, Sidler LED mirrored medicine cabinets and Boffi vanities. A cooling rooftop succulent garden adds an element of sustainability and environmental support, not to mention a beautiful view from above.

The home is one of the most architecturally significant new constructions in the cultural hub of the city, lending luxury and modern design to the neighborhood.

“Like the structural modeling, these plans will help answer a lot of questions for the framers ” - Judges’ comment The

drawings are complex and intricate due to the use of steel framed construction along with its multitude of connections and joints. Both the interior and exterior of this rustic, industrial abode will be comprised of exposed steel framing. Wood paneling and extensive glass are also featured on the exterior of the home.

Although the metal roof is comprised of several different roof lines,

the roof simply boasts the same pitch throughout. Large overhangs with exposed, protruding steel beams also figure into the design and highlight the construction materials used for the home. The bracket detail at the rear of the home, above the covered patio, is also made out of steel and frames the transom windows beyond. ts with visual stimulation the security and warmth of “home”.
