ORDER
PIZZO, United States Magistrate Judge.
Cornerstone Home Builders, Inc. (“Cornerstone”) builds custom homes in Apollo Beach, Florida, a community that borders the southeastern shores of Tampa Bay. When its president, Stephen Bronstein, spotted a new house in the neighborhood which remarkably resembled its St. Croix design, Cornerstone sued the owner, Hugh J. McAllister, III, for copyright infringement. Although McAllister denies this, after a non-jury trial, I find he willfully infringed Cornerstone’s copyright (VA 1-1016-930). Accordingly, Cornerstone is awarded $34,368 in damages. 1
