NAHB Predicts New Homes in 2015

We may not know how many new homes will be built in 2015, but we do know what they will look like. The National Home Builders Association’s Economics and Housing Policy recently asked 3,019 builders, designers, architects, manufacturers and marketing specialists in various locations to describe the likely characteristics of the average, new single-family detached home in 2015.

The findings have some surprising, and not-so-surprising, results:

The average new single-family home will be smaller, between 2000 square feet and 2,399 square feet
Needs will outweigh wants in terms of size and features
Universal design will be a key architectural design consideration for new homes
Energy efficiency is one of the top goals for newly constructed homes, and new homes will have more green features, like low-E windows, engineered wood products, and make efficient use of water
Technology will be a top priority in a home built in 2015
Landscaping and outdoor living space will receive more attention as homeowners will utilize their outdoor space more
2-car garages remain high on the list

Specific room priorities:

The formal living room will either be combined with another room in the house, like the music room or library, or completely disappear
Kitchens will feature a double sink, recessed lighting, and table space or a breakfast bar for eating
First-floor master bedrooms with walk-in closets will be a priority

Least-likely features of the 2015 home?

Two master bedroom suites
Sunrooms
Hobby rooms
Formal living rooms

Creative Interior Design

Creative interior design schemes appear to come naturally for the designers at Geometrix Design. They had to share this particular work with you. Although it is the inside of a creative agency's office space, the ideas can be as basically applied to the inside of a home in case you are brave that is. The continuity of the floor, wall and ceiling treatment creates a very special vibe in the lounge room. If a green textured covering is not your thing, think about what kind of effect continuing a wood floor in the same manner would have.

Community Outreach: We Build it Forward Update

On June 25, 2011, teams of community members and local businesses met at R.P. Johnson & Son's Andover NH location to kick off a day of giving back, We Build It Forward. Ten projects in seven communities in the Andover – Sunapee area were completed in a day, including fundraisers and yard cleanups, fixing park shelters and painting an entire house.

Team Bonin Architects designed and built a community bulletin board at the Andover transfer station - even some of our clients pitched in!! Other projects included replacing the roof on a mobile home in Sunapee, NH, building a handicap ramp, installing 2 storm doors and doing a yard cleanup in Sutton Mills, cleaning up Wadleigh State Park in North Sutton, remodeling a bathroom, painting and repairing a picket fence at East Andover Preschool, replacing a bulkhead basement door in Andover, and building a 60 foot Allan Block retaining wall.

The Kearsarge Chronicle was on hand to interview volunteers and beneficiaries of this terrific program. Watch their interview and mark your calendar to become a volunteer at next year’s We Build It Forward!

NH Architects Interviewed About Cottage Renovation

Country Almanac’s Small Room Decorating, a national magazine designed to help homeowners maximize the living space in their small home or cottage, loved the 400 square foot cottage renovation recently completed by Bonin Architects and Associates in New London, NH.

The cottage renovation project had two primary goals: creating an open, efficient space that looks and feels larger than it really is and reusing as much as the original building material as possible.

The result is an efficient use of space, with a new cathedral ceiling and sleeping loft created when the original ceiling was removed. Apartment-sized appliances maximize space in the kitchen.

Creative storage space was addressed with shelves, cubbies, benches, and hooks.
