Three Cairns builders and designers have been recognised for creating some of the most sought-after homes globally.
The annual Best of Houzz awards are decided by the home renovation website’s 65-million homeowners and home design enthusiasts from around the world through online clicks, engagement and downloads.
It’s an exclusive list, recognising just three per cent of the more than 2.7 million home professionals on the platform.
