Now in its milestone 40th anniversary year, BALA recognizes outstanding achievement by builders and design professionals in all sectors of the residential housing industry including single-family production, custom, multifamily, affordable, remodeling, community and interiors. BALA is built on the principle that all great homes start with great design, no matter cost or size.

“We were extremely thrilled to receive this award,” Andrews said. “Silver Sky will be the premiere benchmark for Paradise Valley development and design. We’re excited to help set that stage and be a part of the journey.”

In addition to Stratton Architects, Nova will feature the “who’s who” of luxury construction and design, including builder Arcadia Custom Builders, interior designer Holly Wright Design, lighting by Creative Designs in Lighting and landscaping from Berghoff Design Group. 

“I loved the direction and focus of the architecture for this home and that it emphasized classic elements, but with a more modern scale and fresh approach,” said Holly Wright of Holly Wright Design. “I wanted to bring those elements into the interiors as well. I used classic finishes and approaches to tie into the architecture but then pushed modern detailing and unique proportions to make it feel fresh and more inventive.”

Nova is being sold by RETSY partners Chris Morrison, Babbi Gabel and Kirk Linehan. Nova is a RETSY| Forbes Global Properties property. To express interest in Nova and learn more, contact RETSY’s Chris Morrison at chris@retsy.com, or call 480.269.0210.
