We are beyond excited to share that Amsted Design-Build has been named a finalist in 15 categories for this year’s Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association (GOHBA) Housing Design Awards!

For us, these awards are never just about the houses. They’re about the people—the clients who trust us with their vision, and the talented team who works alongside them to make that vision a reality. From those first design conversations to the last finishing touches, every project is a true collaboration. That’s why being recognized as a finalist feels like something we get to celebrate together.
