Begrand Fast Design was the big winner on Saturday night during the 32nd annual Okanagan Housing Awards of Excellence.
The Kelowna design firm, led by Nicole Begrand-Fast, captured five trophies during the gala at Delta Hotels by Marriott Grand Okanagan Resort. There were 46 awards handed out, including six by acclamation, by the Central Okanagan chapter of the Canadian Home Builders’ Association.
Begrand won three awards for its work on a home in Kelowna’s Mission neighbourhood called Shoreside Getaway. The wins came in the categories of interior design renovation for a home under 2,500 square feet, a bathroom renovation under $50,000 and a kitchen renovation under $125,000.
Its other two victories were for the design of a new home over 3,600 square feet and for the renovation of a home over 2,500 square feet.
LesBellamy Design Group and Jesse J Contracting both won three Okanagan Housing Awards, while nine other companies captured two apiece.
Meanwhile, City of Kelowna’s Mo Bayat received the CHBA-CO’s Lifetime Achievement Award for his nearly four decades of work in the development industry. He has served as the city’s development services department director since 2004.
