For 55 years, the Gold Nugget Awards have raised the bar for innovative architecture, planning, and construction concepts that solve fundamental building industry needs through good design. The program recently announced its 2018 honorees at an awards ceremony and gala at San Francisco’s Moscone Center during PCBC, the Pacific Coast’s regional conference and trade show for real estate development.
From a field of over 700 U.S. and international entries, judges selected merit winners and one grand winner in 50 categories, including single-family production, custom homes, commercial, office space, renovated projects, mixed-use, affordable, multifamily projects, and site planning. The judges praised creative approaches to classic concepts and the depth of detail executed in the winning projects.
