All of the ArCHdes winners represent a positive and substantial VALUE to the project Owners. In other words: the design of each Architect added Value to the project that would otherwise not exist.  One of the reasons for Architects to exist and to continue designing homes for their clients. No other entity provides this level of quality and value: an Architect.

DION SEMINARA ARCHITECTURE
Queensland, Australia
Dion Seminara, ArCH, CRAfts (Certified Residential Architect)

GREGORS CREEK CUSTOM HOME RENOVATION-ADDITIONS:
Jury Comments:
“This is a very large house.  It started as a modest existing home, then the Architect renovated that and added on to result in a village-like structure for one family.  The various spaces and rooms all have a marvelous residential scale for such a large project.  It all feels like home.”
“This illustrates WHY considering a renovation would want to have a Licensed Architect managing and designing their project.  It illustrates how much improvement can be made resulting in a cohesive whole.”

SWALLOWTAIL ARCHITECTURE
Summerville, SC, USA
Rachel Burton, ArCH, CRAfts (Certified Residential Architect)

BEACH HOUSE:
Jury Comments:
“Gorgeous house using the regional style.  Extremely efficient floor plans.  Nothing wasted.  And even though the project has a human scale, it holds a great deal of usable space and floor area.”
“Spectacular view of the ocean across the elevated 2nd floor infinity swimming pool.”
“Unbelievable that the Architect can actually park 4 vehicles in the bottom level, for such a compact site.”
Once again, this project shows why anyone would want to engage a Licensed Architect to get the most bang for their buck: every square inch is effectively utilized.
