ASHEVILLE, N.C. -
The 2009 Best in American Living Awards, presented by Professional
Builder, has bestowed their most prestigious honor - Home of the Year – to
Carlton Architecture for the Nethermead Residence, as well as Best in Region, a
Gold Award for Best Specialty Room, and two Platinum Awards for Best Kitchen and
Best One-of-a-Kind Custom Home.
“It’s not often that a single home wins five major Best
in American Living Awards,” said Susan Bady, Senior Design Editor forProfessional Builder.
In citing the reasons that the design jurors selected this home, Bady
writes, “…the Nethermead Residence exemplifies a number of design trends
identified by the 2009 BALA jury:
It’s a modern design tempered by traditional materials. While appropriate
for North Carolina, it wouldn’t be out of place
elsewhere in the United
States. It’s beautifully detailed, with a
seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.
It’s a harmonious marriage of sustainability and high-quality
architectural design.”
Sponsored by bothProfessional Builder magazine and the National
Association of Home Builders, BALA showcases homes that demonstrate design
excellence, succeed in the marketplace and exemplify the “Best in American
Living.” The competition is now in its 26th year. A total of 67 award winners in
37 categories were chosen. The 2009 BALA competition’s panel of 6 judges was
composed of builders, architects, interior designers andProfessional
Builder editors. Winners were featured in the February issue ofProfessional Builder magazine. For more information on the 2009
