Chrysalis Awards ‘07

Now in its 14th year, the Chrysalis Awards have honored the achievements of residential and commercial remodelers across the country.

The 2007 Chrysalis Awards brought in a record number of entries — 626 projects from 271 companies. There were a remarkable 94 winning companies within the four regions. Here is a breakdown of each region:

The Chrysalis Awards’ judges include editors and writers of consumer publications such as Better Homes & Gardens, Woman’s Day, Southern Living Magazine and The American Institute of Building Design. The projects are judged on design, use of materials, use of space and integration into the existing space.

The awards will be presented on June 20th at the Awards Ceremony, which begins at 7 p.m. at the Cobb Galleria Centre in Atlanta during the Southern Building Show. At that time, the national winners will be announced. In the next few pages, we present to you a list of the winners as well as some photos of the top projects.
