What a great idea. I love the remodel ideas on transforming a dirty basement laundry room into a central hub in part of the living area.

Wow! As a professional publicist for Florida''s architecture, design and building industry, I read a lot of magazines and trade papers - but this issue is absolutely buzzing with great ideas. I can tell much has gone into analyzing the wants and needs of the buyer to arrive at the wonderful, creative offerings showcased in this issue, most especially these great interior spaces(laundry/work/storage/computer) and the wonderful exteriors by Don Evans of the Evans Group.
But, what happened to the idea that the typical homeowner is no longer Mom, Dad, Bud and Sis? What are the statistics on the makeup of today''s families? Are builders sure that their models reflect their buyer? (wrapping stations, homework, puppy washing stations, - a mere blip in time of the homeowner)
I''d like to see some reference to using these innovations for the single homeowner, the professional couple, or the multi-generational home (with a parent, or adult "children" sharing the home). How about dual,(or three way) split plan suites? How about singles with no kids, but with active work lives - including the astounding numbers who run businesses from home? (consulting, etc.) The separate rooms could be elegant offices - even with client meeting and entertaining spaces. Why not run a feature showing how these same areas could be outfitted for different life stage needs?
(The $544,000 price of the Cordoba is well within the reach of what Florida''s second home buyer purchases for a seasonal home.)
