Phase 1 Begins on The New American Remodel 2026
The next chapter in remodeling innovation has begun with The New American Remodel® 2026 (TNAR 2026) — an official show home of the NAHB International Builders’ Show® (IBS). Located in Winter Park, FL, this year’s home is already turning heads in its early stages thanks to a unique design direction and a fresh take on the remodeling process.
A Real-World Remodel Experience
TNAR demonstrates how cutting-edge products, emerging design trends, innovative building techniques and updated codes and standards come together in a real residential environment. From energy efficiency and improved indoor-air quality to universal design and smart home technology, TNAR is where it all comes to life.
A New Vision by Phil Kean Design Group
For the 2026 edition, Phil Kean Design Group is leading the charge with a thoughtful, design-forward approach. Rather than a full teardown or complete overhaul, this year’s project embraces a “soft remodel” strategy — revitalizing the 3,341-square-foot home without major structural changes. The goal is to transform the existing property into a bold, Miami Retro-style home that feels both nostalgic and contemporary.
This deliberate choice allows for a deeper focus on high-impact design updates, improved livability and efficiency upgrades, while maintaining the original “bones” of the home. It’s a timely reflection of how more homeowners and remodelers are thinking about sustainability and strategic remodeling.
Only at IBS 2026
TNAR 2026 will be open exclusively for those registered for the Builders’ Show, offering an immersive, in-person look at the latest trends in home remodeling. Whether you’re a builder, remodeler, architect or designer, TNAR is packed with ideas you can apply directly to your next project — no matter the size or scope.
