WISCONSIN RAPIDS, Wis., Nov. 14, 2006 (PRIMEZONE) -- The Building Systems Council of the National Association of Home Builders has long been the nexus for the best designs emerging from the housing industry. The Building Systems Council announced the winners of its annual Excellence in Marketing & Home Design Awards competition during last week's Building Systems Council's SHOWCASE event in Miami, FL.
Golden Eagle Log Homes of Wisconsin Rapids, WI, a log home company serving homeowners nationwide, received 1st place in the category of exceptional home design over 4,200 square feet. The award winning home has been recently featured in numerous national home shelter publications, and will be featured in the December issue of American Dream Homes Magazine.
Jay Parmeter, co-owner of Golden Eagle Log Homes, says, "Our whole team is delighted to receive this design award because it validates what homeowners are looking for. Keeping the homeowner highly involved, blending distinct design and functionality and focusing on high-quality craftsmanship results in the best possible projects for our log home customers."
The home offers exquisite craftsmanship on the exterior of the home. Exquisite trim details, stone cladding around the foundation, custom windows and large outdoor entertaining area tie every aspect of the home together inside and out.
Built on Lake Petenwell, Wisconsin, Golden Eagle Log Homes and Country's Best Log Homes Magazine teamed to design and construct the log home. The home boasts more than 5,500 square feet of living space, characterized by the latest in technology and interior design. It was designed to be a functional lake property with the feel of a rustic retreat.
The Golden Eagle Showcase Home is furnished with the latest in modern conveniences. The kitchen offers a Sub-Zero refrigerator and custom designed cabinets that are accented by the reflections of natural light from the lake. The home is also equipped with a large wine cellar, theater room and a fourth bedroom. The theater room has two rows of lighted and elevated custom seating, surround sound and a high definition large screen and projector. The theater also provides moviegoers a snack room, not to mention a popcorn machine.
"The log home industry has grown over the years offering homebuyers a rustic form of primary living with modern amenities included," says Parmeter. Additionally, an impressive list of manufacturers partnered with this project house, including Moen, Sashco, Therma-Tru Doors, Heatilator Fireplaces, Weekes Forrest Products, Shaw Floors and many more.
