“We truly feel blessed to be a part of making this owner’s dream home a reality. Walking through the home, you see monumental moments throughout their lives reflected, as well as the beauty in everyday living. From the architect to the interior designer to the landscape architect, the owner personally handpicked the team they knew would look out for their best interest and truly make their dream home a reality.

The judges said: “Exceptional craftsmanship within a challenging footprint along a steep-sloping riverbank makes this an impressive build—outside and within.”

“An ambitious list of wants and needs had to be met in the design of this multi-generational waterfront home in Arnold. Job one was to maximize water views from every level of the home and incorporate living quarters for the couple, their two children, and parents who would need an apartment within the home. All of this had to be achieved without exceeding the building envelope available on this tapered waterfront lot.”

The judges said: “Clever use of space and the home is so perfectly de- signed for entertaining on the water. The back stair step down out to the water is an architectural statement maker. This home needed to accommodate many people and needs and does so beautifully.”
