Despite pandemic-related challenges that extended the project timeline to more than three years, Neoteric remained uncompromising in their commitment to the original vision. That dedication was rewarded at the 2025 GOHBA Housing Design Awards, where Twin Peaks earned wins for Custom Home (3,001 sq. ft. or more) and Any Room in the House. “To be judged by GOHBA-appointed experts – our peers in the industry – and to be recognized that way means a great deal to us,” Or Bielak says. “But even more important than the awards is the client’s reaction.” The homeowners, who work in the food industry, had specific functional concerns – particularly around ventilation and cooking aromas. Neoteric’s response was not a compromise, but an innovation. “They wanted a true chef’s kitchen experience,” Or Bielak explains. “So we designed a prep kitchen that functions like a professional environment, while still integrating beautifully with the rest of the home. The feedback has been overwhelmingly positive.” JANUARY 2026
