Acorn Deck House Company is proud to announce two new “Excellence and Superior Achievement” awards in building and design. 

The 2025 PRISM Awards ceremony took place in Boston with a panel of expert judges hailing from real estate offices, architecture firms, and construction agencies.  “The PRISM Awards recognize the finest projects and outstanding achievements of builders, remodelers, developers, project owners, architects, land planners, marketing and advertising firms, interior designers, and other professionals in the home building industry.”

Both new awards were given in the New Construction category for the same project: The Metropolitan.  The first award was for the “Best Performance / Energy Efficient Home” and the second award was for the “Best Single-Family Home: 4,500 to 6,000 Square Feet.” Along with Acorn Deck House Company, the Builder: Top Notch Contracting, Interior Designer: AK Designs, Landscape Architect: Offshoots, Inc., and Photographer: Andrew Crocker also deserve honorable mention, as they contributed to the project’s success from every angle.  

The award-winning Metropolitan house showcases design expertise from several angles. 

This modern urban home is situated on a tight, sloping lot just outside Boston, & features earth tone palettes of low maintenance natural and composite materials. The refined street facing side of the house, while modern, still respects the modest aesthetic of the suburban neighborhood. The expressive backyard side features a large roof deck accessing a “widow’s walk” with views of the Boston skyline. The living room has vaulted ceilings that transition to a flat ceiling over the large kitchen, separated by a “light scoop” into a sun room with walls of glass.  The large windows and fireplace are placed for privacy from neighbors, while maintaining tailored views with lots of natural light.  Outside, the patio & backyard feature meticulously landscaped grounds, serving as a sheltered haven of peace from bustling city life.  This flexible and adaptable house uses on-site renewable energy and a tight envelope to achieve Net-Zero environmental ratings, while the connected yet separate rooms are unique inside and out.  

Acorn Deck House Company designs and builds custom homes using traditional post and beam style construction and the principles of timelessness, efficiency, and luxury.
