The 2012 Aurora Awards were presented at the Southeast Building Conference in Orlando a week ago, and several of the winning houses had a look of familiarity to Herald-Tribune readers.

These houses have been featured in the newspaper, either for their green credentials or for winning architectural awards. Or both.

Here’s a look at several of the winning houses and a list of the region’s Aurora Award winners, as honored by the Florida Home Builders Association.
