It was another year of stunning entries to the 2018 CARE Awards and the KB Design Team was thrilled to receive two Gold Awards, both for design!

Every year more than 50 industry awards are presented at the Gala event hosted by the Victoria Residential Builders Association (VRBA) and this year the project submissions were outstanding.

Our project Crestview was awarded Gold for Best New Home Design over $1,000,000 and we also garnered a second Gold award for Home Design – Concept over 4,000 sq.ft. This was particularly gratifying for us as both awards were specifically for the design of each project, acknowledging the important role strong design plays in creating these beautiful homes.

We would like to congratulate all the 2018 CARE Award winners and also thank the amazing, visionary clients that KB Design is privileged to work with. None of this would be possible without the great work and dedication of our Team. There is much to celebrate!
