Residential Design Category
Grand Prize Winner – Zachary Karimipour
“I work for Persica Homes, a small custom home building firm in Tallahassee, Florida, which I help run alongside my father. We’ve been using Chief Architect for many years, he’s been working with it since the 1990s, and I started using it in 2017. I’ve always had a strong interest in art and architecture, especially in exploring different styles and the historical context behind them. I enjoy figuring out how to use modern, stock building materials to recreate design elements that reflect those traditional styles. I like to make my designs look timeless!”
Remodel/Addition Design Category
Grand Prize Winner – Jorge Arreola
Jorge Arreola of Greymark Design + Build helped his customer update an outdated kitchen. The existing space was small and isolated from the rest of the house. After organizing his client’s priorities, Jorge found the solution with his winning design, an open-concept kitchen, and connected dining and living spaces.
Jorge has a degree in Architecture and likes watching his designs come to life with Chief Architect Premier.
