Atlanta-based Brightwater is excited to announce that its showcase home design at Aster in Roswell, GA has been recognized with an Award of Merit for Best One-of-a-Kind Home at this year’s sought-after Gold Nugget Awards. The Gold Nugget Awards are the oldest and most prestigious residential design awards in the nation dedicated to recognizing those who improve communities through exceptional concepts in design, planning and development. “Our Brightwater team is so excited and honored to receive this award,” said Tara Brown, Brightwater’s Vice President of Strategic Development. “Aster is such a special community and each home there is truly one-of-a-kind. Working with the modern Scandinavian style as inspiration, this winning home design allowed us to blend together curated style, thoughtful livability and high performance for sustainability, inside and out – all the things that mean so much to our team and our homeowners. That makes this especially exciting.”
The award-winning design at Aster is a stunning example of modern Scandinavian architecture masterfully adapted to modern comfort in a lush yet convenient setting. The striking exterior of siding, wood, stone and glass draws you in. Form follows function but with a beautifully balanced aesthetic that grounds the home naturally within the larger place. Amplifying a connection to nature, this custom design blurs the separation between indoors and out. Large, thoughtfully placed windows and uniquely arranged porches and outdoor living areas cultivate connection and reflection. A guest suite or office with its own loft is set apart from the main massing of the house – evoking the feeling of a pre-existing pump house that has been converted into living space and built upon over time. Perfectly nestled within its environment, the two structures connect by a large, covered porch – drawing one to step into the open air and experience the surroundings.
Natural light, wooded green views, airy spaces and tones of wood and metal await around every corner, inviting you to experience organically the place as well as the space that you are in. In keeping with its nature-inspired ethos, this custom home is also designed for healthier, more sustainable living incorporating wildscaping, included solar panels, and high-performance construction, resulting in a Net Zero Energy designation.
The setting at Aster is equally unique, vibrant with mature trees, winding nature trails, green spaces and more. Here, just 24 modern Scandinavian homes are woven organically along the lines of the land – each one a unique, custom design intentionally crafted for naturally modern living. The award-winning model designer showcase home at Aster is open for touring Monday and Tuesday by appointment, Wednesday through Saturday 10 am to 4 pm and Sunday 1 pm to 5 pm.
