BHB – a member of the NARI Greater Phoenix chapter – proudly submitted their “Luxury in the Sonoran Desert” project and won the NARI’s 2015 annual Contractor of the Year (CotY) Award in the category of Residential Bathroom, greater than $60,000.
Luxury in the Sonoran Desert
Project Overview
BHB Remodel & Renovation met with customer in mid-2013 and finally completed the project May 2014. This is one of their premier projects in a north Phoenix (AZ) community, in the Sonoran Desert. The project was very challenging. The Phoenix Building Inspector indicated “What you and your team have accomplished required creative solutions to meet the home owners request” for a high-yech European, contemporary design. BHB partnered with DesignLine Architects and developed a plan that transitioned an original upscale builders designer tile master bathroom into a 468-square-foot elegant European contemporary en suite.
