New American Home 2004 to Feature Distinctive Loft Design
With the International Builders' Show still almost six months away, planning for one of its highlights — the New American Home 2004® — is moving into high gear, according to John Ted Mahoney III, chair of the task force overseeing its construction and president of Windjammer Construction Corporation in Bridgewater, MA.
Located in the luxury community of the Lakes at Sahara, this year’s home will sell for approximately $1.3 million and will showcase a distinctive loft design.
The loft design, a growing trend in residential construction, incorporates simple and quick construction techniques and allows higher density development.
The home will feature “an atypical layout for American homes that will appeal to many different phases of life,” said architect Lex van Straten of Food for Buildings®. “We think a well-designed house reflects European roots, but should never be an imitation of something else.”
