Christopher Arelt of Nautilus Architects in Old Lyme has won the prestigious 2017 Innovation In Design Award for Architecture sponsored by Connecticut Cottages & Gardens. Design submissions were judged by a panel of judges composed of key influencers in the design industry. The judges were unanimous in their decision and selected the Nautilus Architects’ project from amongst hundreds of competing project submissions from around the state.

The winning project featured a sleek and sophisticated pool house of steel and exposed concrete with sliding glass walls situated next to an infinity pool overlooking Hamburg Cove in Lyme.

The project was featured in the July issue of CTC&G.
