Diamond Custom Homes recently received the prestigious Grand Aurora Award for its Gulf Shore Beach Estate at the 2024 Aurora Awards Gala. The project, which was honored as “Best Custom Home over 10,000 square feet,” was a collaboration with architect RG Designs and Tina Marie Interiors showcasing each firm’s expertise in delivering luxury custom homes.
“We are honored to receive the Grand Aurora Award for this home,” said Michael Diamond, CEO of Diamond Custom Homes. “This project was a true collaboration between our team, RG Designs and the client, and it reflects our commitment to excellence in design and craftsmanship. Our goal is always to create homes that exceed our clients’ expectations, and this award affirms that dedication.”
Situated on a south-facing, oversized corner homesite with Gulf access, the Gulf Shore Beach Estate was designed as the ultimate “family beach pad.” The original 1989 residence was razed to create the new three-story, six-bedroom, six-and-a-half-bath custom estate. Design highlights include a split staircase, with one staircase leading from the front door to the second floor and another from the second floor to the third. The master suite features full-height ceilings and two private verandas, while the second-floor outdoor living area offers a raised pool, fireplace, kitchen and dining space. A third-floor gathering room provides sweeping views of the Gulf of Mexico through 90-degree sliding glass doors, creating a relaxing indoor-outdoor experience.
The residence incorporates contemporary coastal design with elegant touches, such as white maple shaker doors and walnut-stained cabinetry in the kitchen. A custom walnut pantry door and glassware shelving further enhance the aesthetic. The spacious layout includes additional viewing decks off the flex room and the VIP suite, each designed to maximize the home’s Gulf views.
The Aurora Awards, held by the Florida Home Builders Association (FHBA) during the annual Southeast Building Conference (SEBC), honor outstanding builders, planners, architects, developers, designers and other professionals involved in residential and commercial construction across 12 southeastern states and the Caribbean.
