 Carlton Architecture’s Chauncey Knoll home in The Ramble, Biltmore Forest recently won two 2008 Best in American Living Awards from Professional Builder magazine. Carlton Architecture Principal Rob Carlton received the awards in Las Vegas at the International Builders’ Show.Chauncey Knoll won awards in the Best Master Bath and Best Kitchen categories. Award judges described the winning designs this way: Master Bath: “There’s nothing fussy about this master bath, with its crisp combination of stone flooring, custom wood cabinetry and concrete countertops. Tall windows flood the high gabled ceilings with light and provide views of the wooded landscape outside without compromising privacy. The room is pre-wired for Internet and television and has separate “his and hers” vanities and a natural stone walk-in shower with dual heads and body sprays.” Kitchen: “This kitchen is the nucleus of an open floor plan. A two-sided stone fireplace anchors the great room on one side and the kitchen on the other. Built-in seating at the hearth provides an informal space for relaxing or conversation. Custom casework and skilled workmanship is evident in the cabinetry, which is made of quarter-sawn ash. Natural stone countertops, a stone tile backsplash and soft pendant lighting complement the wood cabinets, flooring and ceiling beams.” The Best in American Living Award design competition is open to builders, architects, designers, developers, land planners and interior designers nationwide. Winners are selected annually by the National Association of Home Builders Design Committee from hundreds of entries. Chauncey Knoll, built by Point South Construction of Asheville, was previously honored with a Builder’s Choice Award from Builder magazine. For more information, visit carltonarchitecture.com.
