The Southern Home Awards salute excellence in design, identifying the South's

best homes based on well-executed floor plans, innovative design solutions

and attentiveness to architectural detailing. Historical Concepts also won

Southern Home Awards in 2001 and 2002.

In addition to the Southern Home Award, the firm has also received the following

recognition in 2004:

- 2004 Palladio Award: New Residential Construction Under 5,000 s.f.

The firm was selected for its design of a Greek-Revival inspired residence

on Spring Island, South Carolina. Co-produced by Period Homes and Traditional

Building magazines, The Palladio Awards Program honors outstanding achievement

in traditional design.

The program recognizes design teams whose work enhances the beauty and humane

qualities of the built environment through creative interpretation or adaptation

of design principles developed through 2,500 years of the Western architectural

tradition.

- 2004 Grand Aurora Award: New Construction

A beach house designed by the firm at WaterColor (Santa Rosa Beach, Florida)

was selected for a Grand Aurora Award.

The Aurora Award program is the premier building and design competition

for builders, developers, planners, architects, interior merchandisers and

other building-related professionals in the Southeastern United States and

is held annually by the Florida Home Builders Association and the Southeast

Building Conference.

Previously, the same project won 6 APEX Awards, presented by the Building

Industry Association of Okaloosa & Walton Counties, which qualified it

for competition in the Aurora Awards.

- Publications

The firm's work has been featured in various magazines during the past

year, including Atlanta Homes & Lifestyles, Southern Living, Cottage

Living, Coastal Living and HOME. In addition, the following recently published

books have included homes designed by Historical Concepts: Cottages on the

Coast by Linda Leigh Paul, Creating a New Old House by Russell Versaci and

A House on the Water by Robert Knight.

Historical Concepts' design philosophy embraces classical scale and

proportion, vernacular ideology and historical precedent, and its services

include custom residential architecture, light commercial architecture and

land planning.

With a generalist approach to "place-making", the firm uses historical

towns and cities as inspiration and strives to create new projects that pay

homage to existing historical precedent. This award-winning approach results

in timeless designs that look and feel as though they have been part of any

given setting for generations.

With a host of additional projects scheduled to be featured in a variety

of upcoming publications, as well as on television, Historical Concepts continues

to showcase the time honored beauty of traditional design.
