Recognizing Craftsmanship, Preserving Heritage
Wins Excellence Award
2025-12-07
Vista Building has been named the recipient of the 2024 Design-Build Excellence Award, presented by the Atlanta chapter of the Design-Build Institute of America. The award recognizes our work on a 1920s Craftsman-style home in Marietta, where we successfully balanced historic preservation with modern functionality. The project was selected from over 100 nominations for its thoughtful approach to restoration, attention to period-appropriate details, and seamless integration of contemporary amenities. This recognition reflects our team's dedication to honoring architectural heritage while creating spaces that serve today's lifestyles.
The award-winning restoration transformed a neglected 1920s home into a vibrant family residence while preserving its architectural soul. Original heart pine floors were meticulously restored rather than replaced. Period-appropriate trim, built-in cabinetry, and the signature Craftsman porch columns were carefully repaired.
Behind the walls, modern electrical, plumbing, and HVAC systems were installed to meet contemporary standards. The result is a home that honors its past while providing the comfort and efficiency today's families expect. This project exemplifies our belief that preservation and innovation can coexist beautifully.
This award reinforces our commitment to thoughtful design-build practices that respect both history and the needs of modern living. As we celebrate this achievement, we remain focused on the work ahead.
Vista Building continues to expand our expertise in historic restoration, sustainable construction, and commercial renovations across the Marietta area. We are grateful to our clients, partners, and skilled craftspeople who made this project possible. Recognition like this inspires us to continue pushing boundaries—creating spaces that are meaningful, functional, and built to endure for generations.
