Per a press release, Hovey Jr.\u2019s Arizona Courtyard House (pictured), a private residence in Paradise Valley, won the 2019 Architecture MasterPrize for Architectural Design\/Residential Architecture.\u00a0The home was built in less than five months using the Optima DCHGlobal system, which Hovey Jr. patented, and demonstrates the flexibility of the system to create a home of linear volumes.\u00a0Plus, Hovey Jr.’s Whale Bay House, a private residence in Kerikeri, New Zealand, took home the 2019 American Architecture Award in the private homes category, which is among the organization\u2019s top honors. This abode was also designed using his Optima DCHGlobal modular housing system. In 2018, Whale Bay House also won the Architecture MasterPrize for Architectural Design\/Residential Architecture and Architecture Magazine\u2019s 2018 Residential Architect Design Award.
