Custom Building Awards
T
his is the second year of the Building Industry Association of Central SC’s (BIA) Custom Building Awards (CBA) program. Custom Builder members are invited each year to enter their best work and to showcase what they have to offer. Winning for Best Custom Home in the $350,000 to $400,000 category is Gage Construction’s Lakeside Retreat. The design was used from combining two iterations of an Allison Ramsey plan. The plan needed to be modified further to accommodate the intended use the family would have, yet keep the low-country/farmhouse architectural style. It was important to maintain an open concept on the first floor that naturally transitioned to the outside through a large quad-slider. This would accommodate large gatherings and help the space not feel confined, as well as keep the area naturally lit and maintain the view of the lake and woods. The upstairs was designed specifically for the kids. Each child was to have his and her own room and bathroom, with a common space for games, friends, and hanging out.
