By From French Country style to Modern Farmhouse, we saw some great designs in July’s Residential Design Contest. Let’s congratulate the finalists on their winning designs!
1st Place Winner: John Rahall
John’s “Modern With a Rustic Mask” home was designed with his wife’s wishes in mind. Behind the Rustic exterior “Mask” you will find a Modern interior with a tropical garden and outdoor pool. The design includes bronze accents and polished marble. The space consists of a primary bedroom, primary bathroom, two guest bedrooms and bathrooms, plus an entertaining area.
John’s interest in building and design sparked at a very young age. He remembers constructing forts and houses with blocks in kindergarten and the fondness for designing and building never ended.
John later attended the University of Kentucky and studied Architecture. Today, you can find him creating beautiful and unique homes for his wide variety of clients at JHR Design.
2nd Place Winner: Alan Lehman
Alan is the principal designer at Lehman Design Studio. His winning design is located in Carmel, California. The project is 1600 square feet with three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and a detached garage. The living space is surrounded by a patio area to allow for a cozy outdoor living area.
Alan started his design career at eight years old. His first client was a pet dog and he created a spectacular doghouse. He later acquired a Bachelor’s degree in Architecture and now uses Chief Architect Premier in his business. Alan likes the productivity features of the software and feels Chief Architect is a game changer!
3rd Place Winner: Aaron Swearengin
Aaron of Oak River Design created a charming home with a white exterior, a covered front porch, and a gable roof. He believes that a home is more than a place to live, but where life happens! He likes to bring homes to life and enjoys making functional designs. Aaron uses Chief Architect Premier and has been using the software for several years.
