Wild Heron wins Aurora Award

In 2006, the master planner of Wild Heron, Bill Foley, president of Foley Design Associates, Architects Inc., was presented with the prestigious Golden Aurora Award - Best of Show, the highest honor awarded, for the exclusive coastal community.

The 2006 winners were selected from among 72 categories by a panel of industry experts and were honored at the 25th Annual AURORA Awards Gala/Spectacular on Saturday evening, August 5, 2006, at the Southeast Building Conference in Orlando, Florida.

In addition, Wild Heron was awarded Best of State for Florida and Lakewalk Bungalows received a Grand Aurora award in the Detached Single-Family home category.

"We feel honored to have received this award and more importantly to be recognized on a national level," said Bill Foley, Wild Heron master planner and president of Foley Design Associates, Architects Inc. "From the inception, the vision for Wild Heron was to respect tradition and the surrounding natural environment and we truly feel we have created a community that celebrates the best the area has to offer."

In 2004, Foley was awarded three Best in American Living Awards (BALA) on behalf of Wild Heron, and the community was also awarded the 19th Residential Environmental Award from the Florida Association of Realtors (FAR), also known as the ENVY.

Wild Heron's architectural style coined Coastal Craftsman is threaded through each residence and community structure. Introduced by Foley, the Coastal Craftsman style is a genuine complement to the natural landscape surrounding it, using time tested finishes like slate, river rock, split stone, glass, wood and historic metals. Inspired by the environmental sensitivity of the Arts and Crafts movement, the restrained color schemes and soft patina coppers of the Coastal Craftsman style all lend itself to the standard of excellence sought by Wild Heron.
