Veld Homes Wins BILD Central Alberta Award for The Woodland Contemporary
Custom home recognized in Best Single Family Home category
RED DEER, Alberta – May 12, 2026 – Veld Homes has been named the winner of the 2026 BILD Central Alberta Award for Best Single Family Home, $800,000 to $1 million, for The Woodland Contemporary at Wilson’s Beach Estates.
The Woodland Contemporary was designed as a modern evolution of the traditional Craftsman style, aligning with subdivision guidelines while introducing clean lines, high-contrast exterior finishes and a minimalist design approach. Set on a 0.75-acre treed lot near Gull Lake, the home was positioned to maximize southern sun exposure while maintaining a strong connection to the surrounding woodland.
“We are honoured to receive this recognition from BILD Central Alberta,” said Gresham Veldhiesen, of Veld Homes. “The Woodland Contemporary reflects our team’s commitment to thoughtful design, craftsmanship and creating homes that respond to both the client’s vision and the character of the land.”
The 2,077-square-foot main floor centers on an open kitchen, dining and living area designed for everyday function and visual connection to the outdoors. Features include oversized glazing, a minimalist kitchen, distinct private and social zones, and a custom 8-foot entry door with a concealed roller ball latch for a streamlined push-pull operation.
