1964 was the year that changed everything for generations of homebuyers. This is when a local homebuilding company named Miller & Smith set out to reimagine how a Washington area home could look and live. Miller & Smith’s homes and communities defied convention and inspired people to think beyond the common Colonial. Design-savvy homebuyers took notice and so did the judges at the building industry’s preeminent design competitions. Builder of the Year. Best in Show. The accolades poured in and by 2018 Miller & Smith had earned over 500 awards for design and construction excellence. Today, having wowed nearly 20,000 homebuyers in 130 communities, they are still guided by the quote that inspired our founders nearly fifty years ago.
