The Architecture Design Collaborative (ADC) team is popping the champagne corks to announce exciting news! Our unwavering commitment to creating innovative and sustainable communities has been honored with the Golden Nugget Awards of Merit for not one but two residential projects we completed: Anton Viridian and Finamore Place. Bestowed by PCBC, the Golden Nugget Awards are a prestigious recognition in residential design, celebrating outstanding achievements in the field. These projects are also finalists for Best Affordable Housing Community in the 30 to 60 du/acre category. We are incredibly humbled and honored to receive this award, and it wouldn’t have been possible without every member of the ADC team and our commitment to collaboration. Every team member played a key role in this achievement.

Golden Nugget Awards: A Benchmark of Design Excellence
So, what are the Golden Nugget Awards? Imagine the Grammys of residential architecture but with a little less red carpet and a whole lot more vision. OK, maybe that’s a bit much. But it is a big deal, and words cannot sufficiently express how honored we are to receive these two awards of merit.
For over six decades, the Golden Nugget Award program has been a cornerstone in recognizing superior design, planning, and development achievements. This award recognizes the commitment to innovation, imagination, and vitality of the leading industry entrants from the United States and international countries.
Each submission is rigorously assessed by a panel of distinguished industry professionals, celebrating the most innovative projects nationwide. Receiving a Golden Nugget Award of Merit within the fiercely competitive Affordable Housing category underscores a significant accolade in residential design and recognition of our innovation within the field.
These awards, presented by PCBC — a leading real estate design and development conference—highlight the culmination of meticulous planning and exceptional implementation. They affirm that our projects meet the fundamental requirements of affordable housing and surpass them to foster vibrant, sustainable communities.
