PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The goal was to build a spec home to showcase architectural details, universal design functionality and green building techniques to bring awareness and education to the local housing market. The result is a 4,995-sq.-ft. Tuscan-styled two-story home with four bedrooms on a half-acre lot in a gated community. Green features include spray-foam insulation and tankless water heaters. Universal design features include double-door roll-in shower with grab bars, and wide hallways. Other features include brick for interior finishes in the dining room, kitchen and great room, a barrel-vaulted ceiling with mosaic tile, and a spa-like feel in the master bath.

Judges’ Comments:
“I like the towel tilt-out tray in the side of the tub deck.”

“Love the faux fireplace!”
