THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA just amazing. There were thousands of people on a daily basis going through that home.” According to Sunny, that rapturous response really put Platinum Signature Homes on the map – in the years since, however, the company has not rested on their laurels. In recognition of that, at the 2020 CHBA Awards for Edmonton, the company was awarded two nominations for ‘Best Estate Home over $1.5 million,’ for their two latest show-homes, the Sainaya and the Anaya. “That means a lot to me,” Sunny says of the industry recognition. “It’s great to have my work be appreciated. I’ve only been building these estate homes for a fewyears, so being considered among the best of the best in Alberta is a huge compliment. It’s a big accomplishment in my eyes.” TheSainayawas alsonominated as a finalist at the 2020 Alberta BILD Awards, in the ‘Homes over $1 million’ category. It comprises roughly 11,000 square feet. Sunny describes it as being inspired by his travels, as it features a number of European products and design elements. “We brought a lot of tiles, fixtures, sinks, and some decorative elements from Italy,” he says. “We were there for a design show, and we fell in love with so much of what we saw. There were so many products that hadn’t made their way to Canada yet, and probably won’t for another four or five years. We wanted to take advantage of this fact and showcase what’s out there.” The Anaya, meanwhile, was a bungalow show-home. Sunny says it was designed with families with older kids in mind. Like the Araliya and the Sainaya before it, it is located on Edmonton’s prestigious WindermereDrive. It is currently retired as a show-home and still available to purchase.
