Merlin Custom Home Builders Wins National Gold Nugget Merit Award for Lake Las Vegas Home
We are thrilled to receive this prestigious merit award and thank PCBC for recognizing Merlin amongst the top builders in the U.S and internationally
LAS VEGAS (PRWEB) August 27, 2020
“We are thrilled to receive this prestigious merit award and thank PCBC for recognizing Merlin amongst the top builders in the U.S and internationally,” said Steve Jones, Founder and CEO of Merlin Custom Home Builders. “We are also grateful to our extraordinary partners on the Water’s Edge home - Raintree Investment Corporation, Swaback Partners, and Studio V. Interiors.”
Water’s Edge is the first custom home built in Lake Las Vegas’ Estates at Reflection Bay. The extraordinary home has both visual and physical connections to the lake, sitting on its own peninsula and capturing stunning views of the lake, close and distant mountains, and the golf course from all main livable spaces. The two-story contemporary home marries indoor and outdoor living experiences like no other. The outdoor living space captures the essence of a contemporary desert estate through the use of clean, hard-edged minimalism and materials such as concrete and metals, while the indoor living space reflects sophistication and comfort throughout.
Developed by Raintree Investment Corporation and designed by Swaback Partners, PLLC, the 8,597 square foot, award-winning home was featured in Luxury Las Vegas Magazine and was previously awarded a Silver Nugget Award for design and architecture by the Southern Nevada Home Builders Association. Interior design was provided by Studio V. Interiors.
“This is the first modern architecture in Lake Las Vegas,” said Patrick Parker, president of Raintree Investment Corp., developer of Lake Las Vegas. “We chose the home site very intentionally. Our vision was to bring contemporary architecture to Lake Las Vegas and to have this home truly be connected to the lake. Architect Vern Swaback, the last living apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright, was involved in the design and his style is evident in the open floor plan, multiple overhangs and highlights of nature throughout the estate.”
The largest homebuilding tradeshow representing the west coast region, PCBC aims to advance the art, science, and business of housing. The Gold Nugget Awards, known as the “Academy Awards” of the building industry, are presented at the conclusion of the annual show to the industry’s top innovators in design, planning, and development.
