Friends, this morning has honestly been the highlight of my career.
I was awarded architect of the best house in the Americas, selected from submissions from the US, Canada, the Caribbean, Central America and South America.
It’s such an honor. I’m feeling a mixture being extremely grateful and overwhelmed!
And it was all the more meaningful, seeing other winners from around the world receiving their award for their region.
The gala dinner is tonight, and it will be fun to dress up, celebrate with all the other regional winners and see who wins the Best in the World!
