The following post was sponsored by Spore Modern Doorbells. Our sponsors are hand-picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.

Our giveaway this week is courtesy of Spore, a company that we have featured in the past whose modern doorbells are simple and sophisticated.
Spore is going to offer one of our readers a True doorbell, which is the latest addition to the Spore family. Departing from its more colorful predecessors, True makes a more subtle impression with a halo of illumination emanating from an anodized aluminum shell. Available in three metal finishes (aluminum, bronze and matte black) and three illumination colors (white, amber or blue, as well as a non-illuminated version), and the winner gets his/her choice of finish and illumination.

More about Spore:
When industrial designer Ted Pierson considered objects that could use an overhaul, he realized the doorbell button was due for some attention. Long neglected as a mere afterthought, Pierson saw the button as an essential part of the home entry. After receiving accolades for prototypes from top design magazines, including I.D., Spore was created in 1996. The ultra-modern buttons have made Spore popular with architects and homeowners alike. Spore is a family-run company based in Seattle, Washington. All Spore products are designed from the circuit board to the faceplate.
Rules: To enter, simply comment on this post and tell us the name of an architect or firm in your region that is doing great modern residential work.
One entry per person. Contest runs from March 1, 2010 through March 5, 2010. We will choose a winner at random.
Sorry this giveaway has expired.
Congratulations to commenter #260, Martin!

Maybe someday I can afford a truly custom design, but for now its all about practicality. Thats a great looking doorbell, maybe, just maybe, it could be a step toward form and function for my humble abode. Thanks for the giveaway!

What a wonderful doorbell. I am a gerontologist and love products that are functional and stylish. This doorbell not only adds safety to the home allowing the door to remain locked and the homeowner to be in any room of the house and hear that someone is at the door but it is also well lit making it easy to locate and use for the guest.
The architect in my region that would utilize a product like this is Doug and Ellen Gallow of Lifespan Design Studio in Lebanon Ohio. http://www.lifespandesignstudio.com/people/
