Nautilus Homes Named Florida Builder of the Year

June 21, 2022 – Sarasota

Nautilus Homes is honored to be named Florida Builder of the Year from the Florida Association of the American Institute of Architects (AIA).

The AIA Florida/Caribbean Honor and Design Awards is Florida’s most prestigious award program for this region’s architectural profession. Each year, AIA celebrates the best buildings and spaces – and the people behind them – who contribute to the advancement of the profession.

The AIA Florida Honor Award for Builder of the Year recognizes one company or firm out of the entire state of Florida who has exemplified a sincere and genuine interest in encouraging and affecting outstanding craftsmanship and workmanship and a substantial body of work.

“I am honored to be recognized for this award,” says Ryan Perrone, President of Nautilus Homes. “Reaching such a goal at this point in my career is only achievable with having amazing people surrounding me. I would like to thank my staff, my mentors, my wife and kids for their support, and my parents for their guidance. I look forward to what we can achieve and hope to be a beacon of success for our community.”
