Danielian Associates was selected to design the 2009 New American Home which was the showcase home for the 2009 International Builders’ Show. Located close to the Las Vegas Strip, this contemporary and highly sustainable home is designed as both quiet haven for personal refuge and elegant venue for lavish entertaining. Green design practices minimize energy consumption and the impact of the home on the natural environment. Courtyards and paseos with fountains and pools surround the home to reinforce the indoor/outdoor lifestyle so prevalent in desert climates.
The New American Home is designed to be a net-zero energy home that includes: active solar design (photovoltaic cells), passive solar design (orientation and shading), insulated concrete wall system, gas-powered mechanical HVAC system and low water consumption landscape.
