    Reports from the recent NAHB’s International Builders’ Show in Orlando, Florida, revealed a few outstanding 2012 new home building trends. Country Club Homes, Inc. is continuously looking for building trends and opportunities that may benefit our new home building clients, encouraging them to take advantage of “…emerging market trends that incorporate creative use of materials, layouts and features that provide maximum utility and beauty while being cost-conscious at the same time.” (NAHB)

    Here are a few of the more noteworthy trends:

    • Reworked Spaces: New homes are accommodating techno-centric and busy lifestyles by reworking traditional kitchen and living room spaces into high-family interaction and high-traffic areas containing (or adjacent to) home management and recreation centers
    • Multi-generational Living: With different generations within families combining resources and living together now, homes require multiple master and kitchen suites, often with one located on the ground floor for accessibility to aging-in-place parents.
    • More Impact, Less Cost: In order to optimize cost effective and energy efficient home design, architects and builders are now more frequently utilizing attractive window and fenestration details to add depth and detail to the facade of residential structures.

    Now is the time to build a custom new home that includes the latest new home design trends and contemporary lifestyle accommodations. These new home design trends offer safe, energy efficient, modern homes at near record-low interest rates to families.
