Pillars Awards Showcase the Best in Apartments and Condos
NAHB will honor the “best of the best” in multifamily housing design and development when it presents the 2004 Pillars of the Industry Awards, March 29, at a gala event in Palm Springs, CA. The Pillars Awards, which also recognize superior leadership in apartment and condo marketing and management, provide a showcase of future trends and innovations in the industry.
“Multifamily communities today have come into their own — they are highly sought after and wonderful places to live,” said Doug Buster, managing partner and senior vice president of Bloodgood Sharp Buster Architects, and one of the architectural experts who served on the judging panel for the 2004 awards.
“That stripped-down, poorly landscaped, institutional building that passed for multifamily for so long is nowhere to be found among the finalists for this year’s awards,” noted Buster, adding that today's apartments and condos are striking in their design, from their use of color and unique building materials to the way they maximize functional living space for residents. “They really complement and enhance the communities where they're built," he said.
