Bonin Architects, New London NH, wins 2010 National Dream Home Award

July 19, 2010 - PRLog -- LITTLETON, CO – Dream Home Awards has awarded 33 builders, architects, designers, developers and tradesmen from across the nation for their excellence in a variety of areas.

The awards, honoring trend-setting products and technology from the past year, were given to professionals who have helped take the home building industry to a new level. Winners received recognition in the June issue of hab-i-ta-tion Design Magazine.

The 33 categories included Historic Renovation of the Year, Conceptual Projects, Community of the Year and Best Green Home Project and were judged on Unusual or Creative Architectural Design Elements, Creative Site Solutions, and Exterior and Interior Appeal.

Bonin Architects & Associates, New London, NH, won a Silver Award in the 3500 – 5500 square foot category for their custom vacation home built in South Peak Resort, Lincoln, NH.  The 4800 square foot timber home was designed within strict Architectural Review Board guidelines which dictated architectural style, building height, setbacks, exterior materials, and color schemes.  The small, ½ acre corner lot restricted onsite material storage.  Pre-built Structural Insulated Panels were used for their energy efficiency and fast installation time (providing a weather-tight shell in just two weeks), allowing the site to be kept free from materials being stored long-term throughout the construction process.

Judge Philip M. Hove AIA commented on the quality of work submitted: “What a great and high caliber class of entrants. I found the winners to be some of the best of all the awards that have recently been posted. A great program, which obviously produced not only a great cross section of work, but some of the best!”

Bonin Architects, along with 31 other talent professionals, were awarded for their outstanding work based on factors such as quality of design, livability, sustainability and the ability to provide healthy and nurturing environments for consumers. Dream Home Awards aims to assist and encourage building industry leaders to develop innovative homes and products.
