New, Innovative Home Design Trends

Purchasing a new home is a big step... you want to make sure you have found a great community, the ideal homesite and the perfect home—on the inside and out. The key to finding that perfect home is in finding the right new home builder! You want a builder who is on the cutting-edge of home design and technology, and one who knows how to make a home flow right and fit the way you and your family live.

And, just like the ever-changing fashion trends, new home designs are constantly evolving. Here, we show a floor plan and exterior of a home that incorporates some innovative styling and design elements such as:

• New, transitional exteriors that incorporate traditional massing and modern material and detailing
• Horizontal windows that maximize natural light and emphasize exterior views, as well as allow for versatile furniture placement
• Simplified interior details to maximize living space and sight lines
• A single dining area, which frees up space to encompass a larger and more efficient entertaining area, including an oversized island
• An Owner's Retreat tucked away from the busier parts of the home for added privacy
• User-friendly additions like a backpack rack, oversized utility room and walk-in pantry
• A Retreat that functions as a private wing and provides additional living space to secondary bedrooms
