retired couples:
o The Cottage - a three-bedroom bungalow,
this house demonstrates solutions that address how we can respectfully house the
elderly population and allow families to support them.
o The Bailley-Scott - an efficient,
three-bedroom Vernacular home aimed at the established first time homebuyer.
o The Family Home - a four-bedroom Arts
& Crafts inspired home, which turns the 20th century notion of a
'suburban castle' on its head.

Home Show is featuring two further unique show homes:
