2025 Design Awards
The New Hampshire Home Design Awards honor and celebrate excellence in home design and the creative use of materials in new, remodeled and historic residences. Although small geographically, New Hampshire is fertile ground for the architects, designers and builders who work in and draw inspiration from the Granite State.
Whether you’ve designed or built a spectacular kitchen, a beautiful bath, a unique outdoor space or a fabulous home, we want to see your most impressive work from the past year.
