2006 Best of the Best Design Awards
2006 Best of the Best Design Awards
With baby boomers continuing to fuel growth in the residential remodeling market, it's no wonder their penchant for high-end luxuries, amenities and design details have come shining through in this year's winning Best of the Best Design Awards projects. This year's award winning projects — more so than any previous year — exhibit the type of upscale flair boomers require in their homes. Large additions, luxurious kitchens and baths, high-tech basement remodels and amenity-filled outdoor living projects were the most notable trends.The more than 180 entries — in 18 categories — were judged on four criteria: construction quality, visual appeal, effective space planning, and functionality. Kitchens dominated in number of entries, followed by additions and whole-house remodels.
Sixty two award winners emerged, including 11 Platinum Awards and one Best of the Best Award, honoring our judges' choice for the project of the year.
