2010 Southern Living Model Home:
In Europe, during the early twentieth century, homes were designed with a close connection to the outdoor gardens. This connection to
the garden, along with the intent to bring the outdoors inside, plays an important role in our attempt to create a home that promotes a
healthy living environment. Old world influences, together with a celebration of high craftsmanship, creates a sense of timeless
quality, stability, and tranquility. Behind the scenes, energy and water efficient technologies combine with low maintenance materials to
create a home that is economical to maintain for years to come.
