The winners of the Detroit Home Design Awards were announced and we are proud to say that we brought home 3 of those awards!

The Hasserton won third in the Contemporary Architecture over 4,000 square feet category. This design is a sleek take on the waterfront home. This multi-level design exudes modern chic as well as the comfort of a family cottage.

The Laurel brought home first place for the Traditional Architecture Under 4,000 square feet category. This award winning design required a rigorous lesson in southern architectural vernacular. To take advantage of cross breezes, the home was designed with 3 covered porches. one partially covered courtyard, and one screened porch, all accessed by way of French doors and extra tall double-hung windows.

The Heartsworth placed third in the Traditional Architecture over 4,000 square feet category. With a unique combination of stone, siding, and custom windows, this Craftsman-inspired design as plenty of charm.

Carlton Shores

As you know from Monday's post, we are up for a Reader's Choice Award as part of the Detroit Home Design Awards with our residential design called Carlton Shores. Here is a more in-depth introduction to this contemporary twist on the American lodge:

A fresh take on a time-tested favorite can be risky, but the Carlton Shores design is an example of a risk worth taking. This sprawling cottage harkens back to the Arts & Crafts revival, while still managing to exude contemporary appeal. The home sits on the property like a great hunting lodge with its use of exposed wood trim and brackets. A striking array of windows gives the exterior an inviting look, as if to defy the elements and welcome nature right in.

Simplicity rules the interior of the home, leaving the dramatic decorating to the outside views. A creative use of natural materials, such as wood and marble, compliment the flora-and-fauna focus of the home’s aesthetic. Every wall is dominated by glass. Windows of every shape and size allow residents to take in their surroundings, while creating a spacious, open atmosphere. The curving wooden staircase with its high ceilings gives the impression you are climbing into the trees.

A soaring two-story vaulted ceiling covers the indoor pool area, which includes a kitchenette and sitting room. Glass doors open out to a vanishing pool and sundeck. All of this has been designed with the stunning lake vistas in mind. A beautiful deck and boardwalk lead from the house down to the shore, giving homeowners beach access.

Don't forget to vote for this beauty before January 20! Click here to read instructions on how to cast your vote.
