Beautiful, sustainable, and supremely flexible, The 2014 New American Home is a stunning portrait of how innovative floor plans can adapt to the needs of todays families. Multi-generational living is something that has been talked about as a design trend for years, but this house really achieves that by having a master bedroom or an owners suite on both levels of the house; you can facilitate one level living on the main level and have your parents or guest suites on the 2nd level. Open space planning was another outstanding feature of this home, suited for entertaining many. We used a lot of texture and different fabrics in The 2014 New American Home. We created juxtaposition of materials and unexpected combinations. Polished and honed; lights and darks, matte and metallic. The color palette used was a tribute to the homes dessert surroundings with pops of accent colors such as peacock and pear. We used the lighting provided by Progress Lighting in innovative ways to create mood lighting in a unique way for each space. We designed the indoor/outdoor living space to play together. The outdoor furniture is cushioned and soft extremely inviting so the outdoor living is appealing and natural. Ready to receive grandparents, guests, or owners who want to live on a single level, the VIP suite offers lux accommodations on the first floor.
