Sarah Gallop Design Projects Recognized Across National and BC Housing Awards
Sarah Gallop Design Inc. has been featured in the Delta Optimist following the recognition of two custom home projects completed in collaboration with Kemp Construction Management Ltd.
The article highlights that these homes have been named finalists in the Canadian Home Builders’ Association National Awards for Housing Excellence, and have also been recognized at both the Georgie Awards and the HAVAN Awards for Housing Excellence.
Two custom homes recognized across national and BC awards
The feature focuses on two projects:
Jewel on the Bluff — Best Custom Home $5–$10 million
Komorebi — Best Custom Home $3–$5 million
Rather than being limited to a single program, both homes are being evaluated across regional, provincial, and national awards. This reflects how the projects are positioned within both the British Columbia residential market and the broader Canadian housing industry.
The collaboration behind these custom home projects
Leaders from Kemp Construction Management Ltd. point to the involvement of trades and local partners, emphasizing that projects of this scale rely on a strong network to deliver consistent results.
From the design side, Sarah Gallop describes each home as a shared vision in which architecture and interiors are developed together. This approach supports continuity from early planning through to completion.
