Finalist - Best Unique Feature

Initially the intent for this space was an exterior shower, however, during our first site visit following the site clearing and blasting it became evident that the natural rock formation and location deserved a more impressive feature. While we pondering ideas with the client, over a few drinks, a sub-contractor stood at the top of the rock formation and relieved himself into the hole…he then suggested a waterfall. The client loved the idea and the goal was then to create a beloved, inspirational space that blends in with the surrounding forest. We also wanted to carry that space into the master bedroom ensuite, more specifically the shower. We utilized the existing site stone, several large landscape rocks and a specifically colored granite slab, which in one piece went from the exterior to interior. The major design hurdle was the detailing necessary to carry the granite slab through to the shower and find a manufacturer that would warranty the sealed window unit. We also carried that same stone beyond the shower and behind the toilet. We then tied it all together with a large stone mosaic by a local artisan that slowly sweeps behind the sinks and carries around the tub, completing the bathroom and visually carrying the eye from one end to the other.

Finalist - Best Single Family Detached Home up to

The Ruby Lake truly is a gem, receiving much recognition and is by far our most popular plan. This 2 story home immediately meets you with expansive views and spacious living. Efficiency is the cornerstone of the Ruby Lake. Carefully placed shelved- wall niches adorn the bedrooms and add interest at the spiral stairs. The subdued placement of the stacked washer and dryer allow for more room in the bathroom while staying tidy and out of sight. The doubled sided fire place allows for two separate fires to be going with just one flue. This comfort extenuates the Ruby Lake’s ability to take living outside. Hideaways are created throughout the house and even on the deck. The covered deck creates a perfect haven to enjoy the outdoors even during inclement weather. The sun deck atop the master bedroom fashions relaxing afternoons sunbathing while evenings are spent snuggled up with a loved one and the glittering sky. The Ruby Lake is a well-planned, efficient home that utilizes space and creates space while wrapping the home in extensive views.
