LINTHICUM, Md., April 23 /PRNewswire/ -- Haven Custom Homes, a leader in the construction of modular homes for more than 35 years, and partner architect, New Hampshire Design Collaborative, were recipients of the 2009 Modular Multi Family Award by the National Modular Housing Council (NMHC) for their townhome design "The Alcott."

The award was presented last Wednesday, April 15, at the 2009 National Congress and Expo for Manufactured and Modular Housing at the Paris Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Alcott design won in the category of Modular Multi Family. "We're pleased to present this award to Haven Custom Homes and New Hampshire Design Collaborative. Their design greatly impressed our expert panel of judges," said Thayer Long, NMHC executive director.

The Alcott is part of a new townhome project scheduled to be built this summer at Mt. Washington Resort in Bretton Woods, New Hampshire. The project will be built in Haven's climate controlled production facility with onsite work by Sequel Development and Management. The townhome units are approximately 2,500 square feet and features classic architecture, "smart-home" technology and sustainable design.

"We are honored to accept this award with New Hampshire Design Collaborative. Their home designs are exceptional and display their dedication for architectural integrity and quality design," said Jerry Smalley, CEO and president of Haven Custom Homes. "We look forward to building many homes together in the future."

Aside from the natural green building advantages of building in Haven's indoor production facility, additional sustainable features will include composite siding, LED lighting and energy efficient window and appliances.

Amy Ostberg, the Principal and CEO of New Hampshire Design Collaborative, added, "We're very happy to be working with Haven. We believe that their modular construction methods are the best in producing eco-friendly homes."
