2021 BEST IN SHOW: Kingswood Custom Homes Best Outdoor Living Project/More than $500K
This year’s Lake Norman Home Builders Association’s Best of the Lake Design Competition looked a bit different with no official awards gala due to the ongoing effects of the pandemic. Entries and judging took place on online in the following categories: Best New Home Construction, Best Custom Waterfront Home, Best Remodel/Existing Home, Best Remodel/Kitchen, Best Remodel/Bath, Best Project Designs, Best Residential Interior Design, Best Residential Interior Staging, Best Outdoor Living Project, and Best Landscaping.
In addition, the judging committee, featuring a panel of experts in the homebuilding and design industries, recognized a number of individuals for their achievements in the building and real estate industry. Electrolux served as the main sponsor of the competition, along with supporting sponsors Ferguson, Queen City Audio-Video-Appliances, Dominion Energy, and ITC Millwork.
The LNHBA is a not-for-profit professional association that represents and protects the interests of the building industry in and around the Lake Norman area. Learn more about these award-winning projects on the following pages, and check out the more photos of the “Best in Show” winner beginning on page 41.
The site previously housed an old trailer on a fully wooded pie-shaped lot. Fitting the home within the required setbacks, including a 35’ building, a 50’ lake, septic 10’ from the house, and well 50’ from the septic, all on a .62 acre lot, was a challenge. COVID-19 severely disrupted the scheduling of subcontractors and supply of goods and materials. Design objectives included creating an indoor living space that would accommodate large gatherings. There are three master bedrooms with their own bathrooms. Additionally, there are two bunk rooms (one for younger children and the other for teenagers). The outdoor space needed to be maximized to accommodate a place for everyone. This included two beaches, fire pit, covered front porch, screened rear porch, and seating on the end of the dock. Winner: Bryler Builders
Best New Home Construction- $500-$749K
This home emphasizes the large use of natural materials such as would and stone, as well as efficient use of space in order to make the smaller floor plan feel as spacious as possible. The clients desired to have as much entertainment space as possible while keeping the home on a single level. They also wanted a laundry room accessible to the owners’ suite as well as a large pantry and room for a pool to be built prior to construction of the home. Another major objective of the home was longevity of the home and aging-in-place. The clients desired for aspects around the home to allow them to live there the rest of their lives without the need for remodel or changes when they need it to be more accessible. Winner: T. Whelan Homes Inc.
Best New Home Construction-$750K-$999K
The client on this project wanted a timelessly-styled lake house with a very wide appearance. Objectives included great indoor/outdoor entertaining space and taking advantage of lake views from every room. Having ample space to store the lake toys while also keeping the home conducive to one-level living was also important to the clients. The main entrance into the home off of the front entry porch features a gorgeous barreled ceiling and curved roofline. The main two car garage is on the right side of the home and leads the family though a wonderfully practical and flexible space that includes an area to sit and put your shoes on, hang your jacket up, access any cleaning supplies and a beautifully appointed laundry area. The guest suite at the end of the hallway behind the kitchen features its own beautiful lake views. Winner: T. Whelan Homes Inc.
Best New Home Construction-$1M-$2M
The goal of this design was to create a home that was functional for a multigenerational family. With a client style that embraces a variety of trends, the overall feel of this home is bright and elegant, without being pretentious. The home was designed to employ a careful balance of rustic and sleek elements. The glass wine room creates a feature corner where the dining room and dry bar meet. The space includes a geometric placement of shelves with stained wood with galvanized pipe supports backed by a distressed brick wall feature. Contrasting with this casual detail is a sleek dry bar and contemporary gold light fixtures over the bar and dining table. Throughout the home, the selections feature the thoughtful use of casual, natural materials in harmony with a mixture of different metals, unfussy moulding and geometric shapes. Winner: AR Homes Monterey Bay Charlotte
Best New Home Construction-More Than $2M
The client wanted a timeless home that leaned towards transitional and traditional styles. The exterior was designed by Harry Schrader from Schrader Designs and has English architecture influences. The trim inside played a major role in the feel of the home, with the Grand Salon being a large focus of a formal gathering space. The Grand Salon features a large crown molding and unique paneling, all made from walnut. The materials were hand selected to craft this stunning custom home. Local stone was sourced, but rearranged in a palette that felt timeless. Reclaimed slate, custom ironwork, rolled steel windows, copper gutters and custom cut limestone surrounds add a formality and exquisiteness of the home, creating a true estate feel. The beautiful mature landscape that was brought in at the end of the project truly makes this feel like it’s an estate that has always been there. Winner: Kingswood Custom Homes

Are you comfortable with color?
Color affects us all in various ways. Some clients want monochromatic spaces, others want it bright and fun and most are unsure of where to go. Which are you?
I have been intrigued and delighted to listen to clients as they tell me what colors they love in their home and which colors they love only in someone else’s home. I had a fabulous client in a showroom that moved from cool blues in one room to orange and grey in the next. When we entered the orange and grey room, she had an immediate reaction where she was uncomfortable and wanted to move out of the room as soon as possible. I have another client who cannot stand to be in a yellow room and yet third client who wants every room to be yellow.
Not only is color important, but it is also the value of the color. A person may love all colors in their purest form, but when you add grey or ‘heather’ the color they become bored and tired. You may be inspired by the clear vibrancy of color in its truest form. Or you may want a calm, cool environment. To tone down color we add white to lighten towards a pastel or add a touch of grey to heather or mute the color.
Color has power. Not only does the eye see the hue, but the body also feels it. When you were a child faced with your first box of Crayola® Crayons which one was your favorite go-to color? The one that wore down the fastest. Do you like that color still today? You may not want it everywhere, but would a touch of it calm you and take you back to that simple time?
Just remember that color is personal. Never let anyone force you into a color that makes you feel uncomfortable just because it is the ‘color of the year’. A great designer will take the time to learn about you and how you react to color to find just the right match. It is all about YOU!

In designing this custom waterfront home with numerous opportunities for the owners’ comfort, the builder addressed the challenging drainage issues and setbacks posed by this scenic homesite. Drainage for ten different homes crossed the property, requiring diversion and more involved site work. The Energy Star Home offers an exceptional HERS rating for efficiency, along with utilizing maintenance-free exterior materials to offer clients convenience in the future. The luxurious features and finishes both inside and out met the clients’ needs and desires for entertaining both inside and outside the home. The open floor plan with first floor living utilized the most current building methodology, along with offering unique design creativity and architecture the client envisioned for accommodating a large family. Winner: Lakemist Homes
Best Custom Waterfront Home-$750K-$999K
The clients wanted a clean, fresh modern home that would accommodate the aging process as well as entertaining local and overnight guests. The lot was a second generation family property with a modular home that had to be removed. There needed to be a new septic and well to service the new home. The lot had an accommodating slope for a walk out basement that would house two additional bedrooms, two baths, second great room, as well as safe room and mechanical space. This home has finishing touches of cedar columns, deck with synthetic decking, stone, Hardie siding, stucco, tile floor screen porch with motorized screens, and outdoor shower. The grounds have a firepit area that overlooks the lake, and a paver drive with a retaining wall. Winner: WHB, Inc.
Best Custom Waterfront Home-$1M and up
The clients wanted an authentic, New England coastal-style home and pool house with classic architecture and exterior finishes. These finishes include cedar shingle siding, a slate roof, all copper gutters and downspouts, a functional cupola, flagstone porches, and silver travertine pool deck. The main living areas were to be generously-sized to be functional for large parties as well as comfortable for daily living. The clients are big dog lovers, and so the builder created a dedicated “canine country club” area within the house that features a dog wash and grooming area, secure dog sleeping areas, and a suite for the dog sitter. The 20x42’ pool/outdoor living area includes a stone and slate cabana with bath and showers, a changing area with locker, an outdoor kitchen, pecky cypress ceilings and a covered eating island. Winner: Patrick Joseph Distinctive Homes
Best Project Design/Waterfront-$750K-$999K
The peninsula lot had 50’ deep setbacks on all three lake sides and the septic field occupied half of the remaining site, leaving a small, oddly shaped building envelope on which to design the house. The goal was to accomplish a home for a family of three with four bedrooms, three and a half bathrooms, a small home office, a large great room, a gourmet kitchen, a bonus room, and a workshop. Fun and functional indoor/outdoor interface elements include a bi-folding window between the kitchen sink and outdoor grill and a large slider to access the covered porch from the master bedroom, providing phenomenal sunset lake views. The ‘Surf Shop’ was designed within proximity to the dock side of the lake, so toys and gear are easily accessible in the areas they’re needed most, and provided excellent organization for everything, including kennels for the dogs. Winner: Pippin Home Designs
Best Project Design/Waterfront Home-$1M and up
The clients wanted a showpiece with a “WOW” factor and grand entrance to make a statement in the neighborhood. The homeowners desired the use of a coveted “Tree of Life” window in the family wing to bring natural light into the long hallway from a dormer window in the adjoining attic space, and it has an engraved plate written with a piece of scripture that is meaningful to the family. There are plenty of entertaining spaces inside and outside, including a formal living and dining room, an adults’ rec room and a kid’s playroom, an exercise room, a formal study called the Travel Room, to storage all their photo albums from their world travels, and a highly functional home office, known as the Resource Room. A 3-stop elevator was installed to allow the homeowners to easily access all floors of the home including the massive storage space of the attic. Winner: Pippin Home Designs
Best Interior Designer
This newly constructed showcase home was built in a new subdivision. The client for this $1.7 million home was envisioned to be a family who wanted to feel as if they live at a resort. The rooms surround a beautiful pool and the organic touches throughout the home closely engage. It is designed to have both public and private spaces to offer an ideal layout for all members of a family. The first-floor primary bedroom suite and office wing are extremely private providing the perfect space for the homeowner. The kitchen appliances are state of the art with a custom RAL painted range for easy of the transitions and continuity with the cabinetry. In the primary bath, the sumptuous wood bathtub is made from distinctive, sustainable domestic hardwoods and built for everyday use. Winner: Starr Miller Interior Design/Southern Cottage Corp
Best Project Design/New Home-$2M and up
This unique farmstead home was designed for an active and ambitious family with a full regulation basketball gym, resort-like pool with waterfall, home theater room, covered outdoor entertainment area with ceiling heaters for year-round enjoyment, and ample windows and bi-folding doors throughout to view the natural beauty all around them. Being nature lovers with farm animals and taking pride in the surrounding equestrian community, they desired views of the farmland around them to admire the beauty and keep an eye on all of their farm animals. The wife wanted a big multipurpose laundry room with a laundry chute, an island for crafts, and a desk at a window. The husband wanted a home office. Each of the three kids were provided their own suites, a wide hallway and play and gathering space on the second floor. Winner: Pippin Home Designs
Best Project Design/ Existing Home-$276K-$500K
This renovation was originally a split-level post and beam home with vaulted ceilings which left no room for attic space or an HVAC system. Exposed ductwork was installed throughout the home to allow for an HVAC system making the home far more livable. Design objectives included adding a stairless entry into the home to accommodate both homeowners who had mobility issues. The tiny kitchen was opened and expanded into a massive focal point of the main floor. The barely finished basement was turned into three bedrooms to accommodate guests overnight. The screened in porch on the lakeside of the home was transformed into a master suite with large windows and beautiful views surrounded by the large mature oaks. The homeowners originally planned for this to be a guest house, but fell in love with the completed project and moved into it full-time after selling their primary residence. Winner: Pippin Home Designs
Best Project Design Existing Home-$501K and up
The street side exterior was in serious need of a dramatic makeover, to bring it up to date with the recently improved lakeside curb appeal improvement. The clients wanted to transform the style of home from the outdated 80s contemporary into a beautiful New England style that the client always desired. A large addition helped expand the living spaces to be more functional, including a gourmet kitchen, walk-in-pantry, formal dining room with butler’s pantry and a large laundry room. A new enclosed basement garage provided more living space with an expansion of the rec room. Other additions included a new three-car garage on the first floor level, a private side entrance with an elevator up to a new mother-in-law accessible apartment, walk-in storage above garage, a new drop zone, powder room, home office, and a grand foyer into the home. Winner: Pippin Home Designs
Best Remodel/Existing Home-$76K-$175K
This 1930s-era mill house was relocated from Davidson’s Mill Village to a location about two miles away, placed on a new foundation, and updated. A gas-fueled water heater sat in the middle of the house, taking up space and undoubtedly causing a potential safety hazard. The ceilings throughout the house were only 8 feet high. The roughly 900-square-foot home received a more open floor plan, a “cook’s” kitchen, along with a true owner’s suite with a bathroom and more closet space. Most of the existing hardwood flooring remained, and additional ceiling height was added with two glulam beams which were trimmed out and whitewashed. This additional ceiling height helped incorporate a loft space, complete with a custom ship’s ladder. At 1,100 square feet, the home maintains the charm of the original design. Winner: John Marshall Custom Homes, Inc.

The goal was to lighten up with house and maximize the view of the lake. This was achieved by painting the walls swiss coffee and staining the white oak floors with a neutral water based stain. Removing the large over-sized fireplace in the middle of the house, adding a large sliding door off the sitting room onto the porch, and adding a large picture window in the master bedroom addition helped maximize the views. Another large design change was to increase the main hallway from 3’ to 4’, making the living quarters more inviting. Two hundred square feet was added to the master bedroom, complete with a roll-in shower and heated floors. COVID-19 interrupted the build time and labor and caused delays with materials, but the clients were thrilled with the results at the completion of the project. Winner: Cypress Builders, LLC

The remodel not only was on the outside of the home but included most of the inside of the home as well, with custom cabinets to the ceiling, huge island with quartz tops, and a built in hutch decked with a walnut top that completes the kitchen. A 48” Pro Wolf range, Wolf Hood, Wolf microwave, Cove dishwasher and built-in JennAir refrigerator and freezer, spacious pantry and custom coffee bar makes this a dream kitchen for a master chef and guests.

They were seeking something more dramatic than a standard black and white kitchen. The clients were living in the home during entire renovation. Everything had to be gutted and rebuilt from the ground up. The end result featured upscale appliances, state of the art materials, high end finishes, and technology driven system throughout. The end results were a contemporary, modern look that the clients loved. Collaborating Designers included Amy Lee and Artistic Interior Design. Winner: Fleur De Lis Construction
Best Remodel/Kitchen-$101K and up
The existing space included a small kitchen tucked at the back of the home away from the lakeside, two major structural walls that were each supporting individual steel beams in the ceiling separated the kitchen space from the sunken living room. The step from the kitchen area to the sunken living room defined the spaces so that kitchen could not be enlarged without major renovation. There were windows on the side of the home that would not work with a new larger kitchen design. The renovation raised the sunken living room and redefined the kitchen space. The windows were replaced with ones that would maintain the lake views but allow for cabinetry below. The kitchen was expanded with double the amount of cabinetry, along with a large island with a built-in dining area. Winner: Craft and Trade Renovations LLC
The existing bathroom was dark, especially compared to the rest of the home. All the finishes – cabinets, tile, and paint featured tones of brown.

The bathroom was relatively small for the home—long and a bit narrow—so keeping it bright with a bit of sparkle to make the space feel larger and open. Anchoring each end of the bathroom was a tub deck and a shower. A smaller hexagon mosaic created two tile inlays on the main floor and a larger hexagon mosaic in the shower. A partial wall was also removed in the shower in favor of glass. Finishing off the space was the wainscoting accent wall. To create more space, the designer added a custom height cabinet under the window with two pull-out hampers and shelving for towel storage. The black accent added a masculine touch. Winner: Craft and Trade Renovations LLC

The strength of the headboard balances with both the light fixture in the bedroom and the book matched porcelain wall in the bath. The bath features a sumptuous wood tub made from sustainable and domestic hardwoods and stepdown shower with Kallista plumbing fixtures throughout. Winner: StarrMiller Interior Design
Best Residential Interior Staging-$1M+
This project was a homebuilder’s personal home, designed and built to his personal taste. The 11,113 square-foot home with seven bedrooms and eight and a half baths had been listed for sale vacant for one year under two different agents, with no offers. The objectives were to tone down the formality of the home, lighten and brighten the feel of the home, and make it appealing to a wide range of buyers. The client’s guidelines were to stage this home to sell. The client also did not want to make any changes to the home (the client would not paint over dark walls or change light fixtures). Winner: Carolina Spaces Furniture & Design
The existing home required demolition of the rear porch and extensive repairs to the exterior areas of the home. This enabled the winner to create a truly amazing and unique outdoor living space.

A stone/slate roof pool cabana on the left side of the yard keeps the views open but provided a number of service areas: a pool bath and changing area with lockers, an outdoor kitchen, and a dining island. To the right of the pool is a large pergola lounge area. All these different areas viewed, with the lake, from the elevated veranda and are linked by over 2000 square feet of the same silver travertine pavers, including a walkway to the dock.
