Flintrock Builders is proud to share that we have been recognized on the national stage at this year’s American Residential Design Awards (ARDA), hosted by the American Institute of Building Design (AIBD).

Honored for “Luxury by the Lake”

Our team received top honors in the Outdoor Living category for “Luxury by the Lake”, a breathtaking five-bedroom, five-bath home nestled along Lake LBJ in Granite Shoals, Texas. This home blends refined interiors with serene outdoor spaces, creating a retreat that’s as luxurious as it is livable.

The design was led by our very own award-winning Architectural Designer, Jason Orlowski, whose vision perfectly captured the harmony between lake life and modern elegance. The home’s distinctive style was elevated further by our talented interior décor team: Caroline Marquez, Courtney Doose, and Cami Ford, whose expert touch helped turn design into experience.

Global Recognition for “The French Mansion”

As if one honor wasn’t enough, Flintrock Builders was also named a Top 4 Finalist in the prestigious Global Choicecategory for our much-celebrated project, “The French Mansion.” This special category invites votes from both AIBD professionals and the general public, showcasing some of the most admired residential designs from across the globe.

Being recognized in both categories reaffirms what we at Flintrock have always believed: design matters—and so do the people behind it.
