Distinctive Communities wins Product Design of the Year at 2008 Sand Dollar Awards
Wednesday, October 8, 2008
The Collier Building Industry announced the 2008 Sand Dollar Award Winners during its annual event, held this year on September 6th, 2008. Many of Naples top builders, designers and building industry leaders gathered at the Coconut Hyatt for the "Moulin Rouge" themed awards ceremony to find out who would take the top prizes in each category. 
The Renoir model features 4 bedrooms, each with a private bath, formal living and dining rooms as well as a casual eating and living areas off of the kitchen. The dark cherry hardwood flooring glides thru the house, and has a true coastal feel when combined with the bright creamy painted moldings and turned pickets gracing the stairwell. No detail has been left unnoticed in both design and decor; of the 4 bedroom suites, the master and one guest suite is situated downstairs providing both privacy and accessibility of ease to the main living areas of the home. The upstairs guest rooms feature superior views; and from the scrolled wrought iron balcony, breathtaking vistas of both the outdoor verandah, lagoon style pool and the luscious rolling greens of the Tiburon Black Course fairway can be enjoyed.
 Marsala at Tiburon Living Room Graceful French Doors open from the main living areas with invitation to entertaining or quite retreat. The planter inspired family room with the planked side turned, wood beam ceiling and double palm fan reflects the casual nature of this home, while the intricate details of the built in and kitchen showcase ingenuity of design. Off the family room, the covered loggia features a beautifully detailed gas stone fireplace, seating area and private pool bath, perfect for entertaining. The dark wood ceiling details offer contrast from the light painted woods inside. The rear of the home surrounds the hand laid stone lagoon style pool and the verandah is expansive with views to the pool and the greens beyond. A freestanding outdoor pavilion just beyond the pool embraces Florida style living and provides a family friendly spot for gathering and relaxation, and symbolizes one of the many reasons the Cuban inspired Renoir model in Marsala was awarded Product Design of the Year.
The Renoir model's highest marks were achieved by working closely with Design partners Stofft Cooney Architects and Collins & Dupont Interiors of Bonita Springs. Specific judging items were rated on a scale of 1 thru 5, with 5 being noted as outstanding. Design features such as Space Livability, Product Uniqueness, Quality Workmanship and Value all played a role in helping Distinctive to attain the CBIA's Product Design of the Year honor.
The Collier Building Industry Association's Sand Dollars are judged every year by design and building professionals from across the country in a wide variety of categories, and entrants must receive a minimum of 70% of total possible points in order to receive the award in a given category. This year the CBIA presented Sand Dollars for over 80 categories ranging from Product Design of the Year to Best Website to Sales Manager of the Year. Entries were based on type of product and price range in the building categories.
In celebration of the Renoir's Sand Dollar Recognition, Distinctive Communities, Inc. will be holding an open house today from 1-4 pm, so local homeowners can tour this model home for themselves and see the quality and value that helped Distinctive Communities achieve the Product Design of the Year award.
