Woodbridge Pacific Group (WPG) has received seven nominations in the 2026 SoCal MAME Awards, recognizing its new home designs in California’s desert communities. The nominations span architectural design and interior merchandising, underscoring the builder’s attention to detail and its standing in one of homebuilding’s most prestigious competitions.
The SoCal MAME judges honored Plans Two and Four at Solace in Miralon for Architectural Design and named Solace as an Architectural Series. They also recognized the Daybreak design at Cotino, a Storyliving by Disney community in Rancho Mirage, for Architectural Design. All three designs additionally earned nominations for Interior Merchandising of the model homes. Each nominated design remains eligible for the So Cal MAME Home of the Year designation, which will be announced at the November 14 awards ceremonies at the Westin Resort in Anaheim.
Hannouche Architects of Newport Beach, California, served as the architectural firm for all nominated homes, while Chameleon Design of Costa Mesa, California, created each model home’s interior merchandising. Their involvement reflects the collaborative effort behind the recognized designs.
Lisa Parrish, Judging Chair for the So Cal MAME Awards, praised the builder’s work. “WPG and its team have earned a fine reputation for notable attention to detail, and these superb desert homes show us why this design/development team is so celebrated,” she said.
WPG President Andrew Murphy expressed appreciation for the nominations and the contributions of the design partners. “We are delighted with these nominations and delighted that Hannouche and Chameleon are an important part of these prestigious honors,” Murphy said. “All of us strive to create new homes with persuasive, versatile designs, and to place these homes in locations that enrich the desert lifestyle for a wide variety of move-up and empty nester shoppers.”
The So Cal MAME Awards welcome entries in some 30 categories that celebrate the achievements of design, planning and development companies and individual professionals. The recognition of WPG’s desert collections places the builder among the honorees in a program that highlights industry excellence.
Murphy noted that the nominated designs represent the quality buyers expect from the company. “Solace and Daybreak epitomize the excellence our shoppers expect from WPG neighborhoods,” he said. “We are proud to see these desert homes take their place among our winning collections.”
