Bellwether Design-Build is excited to share that our Ciel lot 10 project in the Ciel development in North Asheville has won the 2016 Award of Merit in the 4,000-8,000 square foot custom home category of the Golden Nugget Awards. Even more exciting is the fact that this means the custom home is now in the finals for the Grand Award, which will be announced in June.

The Golden Nugget Awards honors architectural design and planning excellence and draws entries from throughout the United States and internationally. The Grand Awards winners are chosen from an elite pool of Merit Award winners. The Golden Nugget Awards are presented by PCBC, the largest homebuilding tradeshow representing the west coast region. PCBC is dedicated to advancing the art, science, and business of housing.

This custom home design was a collaboration between Bellwether Design-Build, Retro+Fit Design, and Allard and Roberts Interior Design. The developer for the project was AIBL Invest. Medlock & Associates was the project structural engineer. We’re proud to be a part of this award-winning team! This home was awarded the Innovation Award in the 2015 Parade of Homes awards ceremony.

We are honored to have the Ciel house featured as an Award of Merit winner. We can only hope it is chosen in its category for the Grand Award. Keep your fingers crossed for our team!
