Cutting-edge energy efficiency,
sustainability and a stunning elegant desert contemporary
style with transitional interior design are just a few keywords to describe the
33rd edition of The New American Home®, America’s premier show home
serving as the official show home at the 2016 International Builders’
Show® (IBS).
The 5,050 sq. ft.
multi-generational home is being built in the MacDonald Highland’s community
located in the exclusive foothills of Henderson, NV. The home was designed for
gracious living and takes full advantage of the spectacular views of the Las
Vegas strip. The home will incorporate the latest green and sustainable
building materials, products and construction methods in order to reduce its
impact on the environment and provide the highest quality of life for the
occupants.
While it is perfect for entertaining,
the home was also designed to offer other important amenities for today’s
homebuyer. Amenities such as eminently livable space in a contemporary design
that’s exciting, but not over the top; functional comfort and flow; plenty of
storage; a flexible floor plan that is open, light-filled, and
spacious-feeling; low maintenance and materials to complement the
innovative design; healthy home features; and balanced daylighting.
The New American Home offers the latest concepts in
architecture, construction techniques, new products and lifestyle trends that
can be incorporated in any home.
