Surge Homes® Inducted Into the Marvin Hall of Fame for Design Excellence

HOUSTON, Sept. 19, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On behalf of Surge Homes, Benoit Lemieux and Louis Conrad were honored Thursday in Washington, with Builder magazine's 2017 William S. Marvin Hall of Fame for Design Excellence award. Surge Homes is the only Texas builder inducted into the Hall of Fame in the award's 13-year history. This year's other Marvin Hall of Fame honorees are architects Lorcan O'Herlihy and Paul Masi, of Los Angeles and East Hampton, New York, respectively.

Builder writes, "The winners of this year's prestigious award are known for testing design boundaries in a variety of settings." Adding, "The best architects, builders, and designers have a style that sets them apart. This year's inductees into the Wm S. Marvin Hall of Fame for Design Excellence embody that sense of uniqueness with one-of-a-kind projects that go beyond meeting clients' need for shelter. Their finished products set new standards for residential design excellence."

Based on the results of an interactive market research process involving 3,400 Houstonians, Surge Homes designed innovative residential living spaces with smaller footprints in elegant, new building types – some not previously seen in Houston – that allow them to bring more affordable products to homeowners. The company continued its innovations through to interior finishes, which also were developed through its crowdsourcing process in coordination with professional designers, by importing award-winning kitchen and bathroom cabinets from Germany that are exclusive to Surge Homes.

European-inspired, innovative floor plans that maximize space are a hallmark of Surge Homes' designs. Whether it's a 468-square-foot, one-bedroom condo, a 1,500-square-foot, three-story, three-bedroom townhome, or the unique Sky Townhome^®, which offers two-story condo living in less than 1,000 square feet, Surge Homes spares no attention to detail. This is also evidenced by the 70 luxury interior design packages offered to each homeowner, from those purchasing a $150,000 condo or a $1.5 million single-family home.

 "This award acknowledges the determination to see our vision through to fruition when many in our market believed we would fail," said, Conrad, president of Surge Homes. "We are not only bringing densification to Houston's Inner Loop, we are bringing quality, affordable, luxury housing that isn't found elsewhere in our market."
