t’s always exciting to see great design and innovation recognized, and the Esencia neighborhoods’ success at the 53rd annual Gold Nugget Awards was truly inspiring. Warmington Residential received prestigious honors for its exceptional architectural designs and thoughtful planning. This project marked my first photoshoot for Warmington Residential, and it holds a special place in my career journey.
Warmington Residential earned two Merit Awards for its Trellis community. Trellis – Plan 3 was recognized in two categories: Best Single Family Detached Home – under 2,000 sq. ft. and Residential Housing Project of the Year – Detached Product. These accolades highlight the creative and practical approach Warmington brings to home design, ensuring spaces are as functional as they are beautiful. Capturing the essence of this vision through my lens was both a challenge and a privilege.
When I first visited Esencia for this photoshoot, there was only a security gate and three sample homes standing on undeveloped land. It was hard to imagine how the area would transform into the thriving community it is today. Warmington was a pioneer in developing this region, laying the groundwork for a vision that has now become reality. Today, Esencia is a vibrant community, complete with schools, grocery stores, freeway access, preserved mountain areas for hiking, and more. Seeing the evolution from a quiet beginning to a bustling neighborhood has been incredible.
The staging of the homes for this project was next level. Every inch of the interiors was utilized to its fullest potential, showcasing how each space could enhance daily living. From cleverly designed storage solutions to multifunctional rooms, the brilliant space-planning team ensured that no detail was overlooked. Even the rooftops were transformed into functional outdoor entertainment areas, highlighting the homes’ versatility for gatherings and leisure. The design catered to all aspects of life, seamlessly blending style with practicality.
Since then, Warmington Residential has continued to earn recognition for its innovative designs and thoughtful approach to community building. Their ability to blend architectural beauty with functionality has solidified their reputation as a leader in the industry. It’s exciting to see how their work continues to shape the standards for modern residential development.
Looking back, this project wasn’t just about photographing homes—it was about telling a story. The details mattered, from the layout of the homes to the atmosphere of the community. I learned the importance of translating a developer’s vision into visual narratives that evoke emotion and capture the imagination.
The Gold Nugget Awards ceremony, held during PCBC® in San Francisco, showcased the best in real estate design and development from across the nation. It was thrilling to see these neighborhoods celebrated alongside an elite group of homebuilders and developers. Seeing the work I had photographed recognized on such a prestigious stage reinforced my passion for capturing architecture and design.
Congratulations to Warmington Residential for their incredible achievements, both past and present.
