Las Vegas Builder Blue Heron has completed the 2009 edition of The New American Home. And no matter what your line of work, if you’re in the housing industry, then you need to see this home during the International Builders Show in January.

The latest, most innovative home products, technologies and design trends can be found in The New American Home, the showcase house produced each year in conjunction with the International Builders' Show.  The New American Home is one of the most successful and visible programs of the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB). 

For the 6th straigh year, the home will be made of concrete wall systems.  Known for their sustainablility and ease of construction, insulating concrete forms (ICFs) were provided by Arxx.  Engineers and product experts helping to make sure the product was properly installed and applied.

The New American Home incorporates elements such as builders’ best practices, energy efficiency, indoor-air quality, safety, convenience and aesthetics. And it demonstrates that excellence in housing performance can be built into any home – large or small, simple or complex.

And even though this is a finished home, there are many places where visitors can get a look behind the walls to see how new technologies—everything from appliances to building systems to construction techniques—are used in the home.

The home was designed by the Irvine, Calif., architecture firm Danielian Associates with the interior design and furnishings by Robb & Stucky Interiors, the largest, high-end interior design firm in the country.

With a new home built every year for the last 25 years, The New American Home has proven to be an outstanding resource for builders, designers, architects, and building trades professionals who want to keep up with leading-edge trends.

Located 15 minutes from the Las Vegas Convention Center and just five minutes from the airport and “The Strip,” this year’s show home is on a half-acre lot in a neighborhood with an interesting slice of Las Vegas history. Over the years neighbors of the property have included Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, boxers Mike Tyson and Thomas “Hit Man” Hearns, the Sultan of Brunei and Mr. Las Vegas – Wayne Newton.

Registered attendees at the 2009 International Builders’ Show can tour The New American Home during exhibit hours. Free shuttle buses depart every half hour from the Las Vegas Convention Center.  Shuttle bus tickets are required and complimentary, which can be picked up during show hours at The New American Home’s booth in the Central Concourse just outside the entrance to Exhibit Hall C5 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. The show will run January 20 - 23, 2009.
