Show Village preview: A sneak peek at three cutting-edge IBS show homes

The Admiral Craftsman Home

This Craftsman-style home proves that energy efficiency is possible even for the large, multi-generational families it is targeted for. With three bedrooms and 3.5 baths, residents of all ages will have space to live, work, and play while keeping the cost of living affordable.

The open plan of the first floor connects the living room, dining room, and kitchen, with access to the deck — with its indoor/outdoor fireplace — via the dining room. The central kitchen features a vaulted ceiling that reaches to the second floor, creating a connection between the first floor and the upstairs loft and flooding the first floor with daylight.

If grandparents are part of the equation, the guest suite is designed for easy access with its wider doorways for wheelchairs and large roll-in shower, among other features. A pair of wood-clad slider doors highlight the entrance to a separate guest deck.

Energy efficiency concerns are addressed through a variety of technologies, including triple-pane, low-e windows, a non-ducted mini-split heating system, and wall-mounted radiant heaters for greater heat and healthier air, especially on cold nights.
