Judging is based on problem solving, craftsmanship and design elements. Located along Minnehaha Creek in Minneapolis, the winning project required extensive remediation repairs to fix construction defects caused by water being trapped within the walls following an improper installation of a second story in the 1980s and from trapped moisture due to a poor ventilation system.

Led by AMEK owner Paul Schmidt and field manager Jim Hansel CRPM, the project involved the removal and reconstruction of rotted areas before the new exterior could be installed. The final results featuring a crisp, modern appearance with warm, wood accents have given the owners a healthy and aesthetically pleasing home to enjoy.
