rom single family to multi-unit to urban loft, each New
American Home has been recognized as a product of its
own time, with distinctive stylistic features and examples of skilled
craftsmanship. Timberlake Cabinetry is proud to be a part of that
history over the past several years. “We have been privileged to
work with some of the finest architects, builders and interior
design firms in the country to create these remarkable homes,”
said Connie Edwards, Timberlake Director of Design. “For
me, the homes are a benchmark of design trends and the new
product introductions we (and other companies) have made in
the fourteen years since we first participated.”

in conjunction with
the International

showhouse we’ve done since
1994, of which nine have been
New American Homes.
e especially look forward to The New American Home projects not only because they are
sponsored by the NAHB’s National Council of the
Housing Industry (NCHI), but because we enjoy the
teamwork of partnering with other suppliers, the
interior designer, the project architect and builder.
And besides all that, this is a very special house…it’s
the 25th anniversary of The New American Home.
Each year NCHI creates the official showhouse
for the International Builders’ Show and in so doing, encourages the use of the newest in products,
design and technology from its suppliers. On this
silver anniversary, the New American Home is also
honored as the first showhouse certified by NAHB’s
National Green Building Program.

The Big Finish
There’s a stroke of artistry at work in the 2008 New
American Home kitchen. Combining two complementary
finishes creates a spectacular effect.
Showhouses give us a wonderful opportunity to
demonstrate the flexibility of our Timberlake products. With fifteen rooms of cabinetry and a total of
seven different doorstyles, wood species and finish
combinations on display, this southern charmer is
decked out from the two-tone kitchen to the wall to
wall entertainment center in the media room.

The celebrated New American Home—Now in its 25th year.
E
ver since it premiered at the International Builders’
Show in 1983, The New American Home has
become a symbol for the cutting edge in home design,
building products and construction techniques. For
the last 25 years, it has provided production homebuilders with up-to-the-minute ideas on how to produce more energy efficient, durable homes without
sacrificing style. So it is no wonder that Timberlake
has become a part of this tradition, participating in
several of these impressive showhomes.
bines theater-quality entertainment, games, and
other activities—as well as access to a private balcony
and sun deck.
The formal spaces include a dedicated dining room,
grand salon, and library/study to serve the owners’
entertainment needs. While on the outside, an additional 2,950 square feet of covered space features
an outdoor kitchen and a solana (or salon) complete
with a fireplace and arched openings to the lake view
and a landscaped pool and spa.
According to Don Repshas, VP of Marketing for
Timberlake Cabinetry, “The New American Home
has not only elevated our status among homebuilders, but it has also demonstrated very practically
how a stock product such as ours could be used to
create custom environments… with a higher value
perception at a fraction of the cost. This is an important consideration, given the challenges today’s
homebuilders are facing.”
Timberlake designed and installed cabinetry in 15
areas of this remarkable home, adding style, storage,
organization and convenience everywhere you turn.
Co-sponsored by The National Council of the Housing Industry—the leading suppliers of NAHB and
Builder Magazine, The New American Home is not
only the official showcase house of the annual International Builders’ Show, but it is also a for-sale product.
Fresh thinking is the hallmark of The New American Home project. This is the one house that every
builder can go to yearly and see the latest and greatest
products, innovation and building techniques—
all wrapped up in one. And this year is no exception.
By incorporating NAHB’s Green Building Guidelines
and the U.S. Department of Energy’s Building America Program, the 2008 showhome will be “Energy
Star” rated, certified “green,” and an environmentally
friendly home under standards set forth by the Florida
Green Building Coalition, an organization dedicated
to eco-friendly construction practices.
For 2008, The New American Home is a 6,725square-foot, plantation-style home, designed for a
well-established professional with a mature family
and offers modern conveniences and stately details.
The majority of features and innovations in the
home are accessible to both builders and consumers
for integration into their own homes.
Perhaps the most interesting design feature is the
floorplan, which offers a family suite on the main
level to accommodate an elderly parent, boomerang
adult child, or long-term guest. There is also a firstfloor master retreat occupying one entire side of the
footprint, a wide-open kitchen/nook/leisure room
that opens on two sides to a covered loggia along the
rear elevation, and an upstairs clubroom that com0 6

turns on the Southern charm.
And the results are sure to turn
homebuyers’ heads.
M
ention of “plantation-style” homes often
conjure images of Tara, Scarlett O’Hara’s
palatial mansion in Gone with the Wind. Certainly
The New American Home 2008, reminiscent of
traditional Southern architecture, pays homage to
a bygone era of genteel living and conveys a reverence for the past.
the entertaining possibilities are endless.
When considering an architectural style for the home,
Charlie and Judy Robertson, of Robertson Homes in
St. Cloud, Florida, gravitated toward Southern architectural styling, which reflected their interest in, and
affinity for, Greek Revival. Even more than that
influence, however, their goal was to build a beautiful
and innovative home, while also honoring an era
affected by an event in the more recent past: Hurricane
Katrina. “We looked at Katrina and the devastation
it caused,” said Charlie Robertson, “how it destroyed
beautiful old homes that had stood for hundreds of
years, and we wanted to do something to honor the
history of those homes, as well as help the people in
those areas.” Consequently, the Robertson’s decided
to design the home in the tradition of old Mississippi
and Louisiana-style homes.
The next step was to communicate their vision to
residential designer Dan Sater of the Sater Group, who
worked hard to translate their ideas into a tangible form.
“Dan did a great job interpreting period details to retain
the old-style feel we were looking for,” said Robertson.
Examples of those details include the use of extensive
trim work and crown molding, minimizing the use of
drywall, plus columns and stairways constructed of
wood. The home’s 12-foot ceilings are also uncommon
in today’s day and age, and create a feeling of spaciousness on a grand scale, reminiscent of the Antebellum
time period. Multiple fireplaces, wooden floors and the
use of wallpaper in many of the rooms also date back
to that era.

The old Southern style was updated in many ways throughout the house, with modern amenities added to make it
relevant for today’s lifestyles. But there’s no question the
home embodies the grandeur and generosity associated with
the spirit of the South. Which is especially apropos considering its genesis. The inspiration for The New American Home
2008 is being carried through even after the home debuts at
the International Builders’ Show in February. After the show,
the home will stay open to host a fundraiser, and the proceeds will benefit the Katrina Relief Fund, along with a local
children’s charity.
O
f course the columned portico along the symmetrical
front elevation truly embodies the stately plantationstyle look, and beckons guests to enter in proper “Southern
hospitality” fashion. Once inside, the home offers plenty of
areas that perpetuate the tradition of entertaining in style.
On the main floor, the grand salon and dedicated dining
room are perfect for more formal gatherings, while the
kitchen and adjoining leisure room naturally lend themselves to casual get-togethers. The kitchen is equipped for
serious cooks, including two ovens, two dishwashers, and
two sinks, along with a warming drawer and other convenient features that make it easy to accommodate a large
group. The nearby butler’s pantry, which has an additional
sink, as well as icemaker and under-counter wine cooler,
helps with serving and keeps cleanup out of plain view.
Upstairs, the name of the game is family fun in the club
room, which incorporates a wet bar, as well as theaterquality entertainment, games and other activities. Robertson points out that Timberlake was instrumental in
designing what amounts to four separate kitchens in the
home: the main kitchen, the club room wet bar, the kitchen in the family suite area, and the morning bar in the
master bedroom. “Timberlake worked as part of the team
to design all of the kitchen areas, and we were extremely
pleased with the outcome,” said Robertson. “Timberlake
did an exceptional job all the way around.”

going green
The New American Home 2008 is the first showhome to be
certified by the NAHB’s new Green Building Standards.
A
nd that’s just one of its many fine distinctions
when it comes to “green.” The New American
Home 2008 is also “Energy Star” rated, certified
“green,” and classified as an “environmentally friendly home” under standards set forth by the Florida
Green Building Coalition, an organization dedicated
to eco-friendly construction practices.

The New American Home 2008 was constructed
using a systems-engineering approach incorporating
NAHB’s Green Building Guidelines and the U.S.
Department of Energy’s Building America Program. The home achieves high levels of efficiency
through advanced HVAC equipment, careful
installation of insulation, air sealing and high performance windows.

Don’t let the stately appearance fool
you—in addition to its charm, The
New American Home 2008 is loaded
with the latest technology.
S
ince the days of Gone with the Wind, technology has taken
off at warp speed, including home management technology,
which consumers are embracing because of the convenience and
efficiencies it offers. The beauty of the newest technologies, quite
literally, is that they can be integrated in a way that maintains the
beauty of a home, as was done in the 2008 New American Home.
The NAHB is helping to drive the green building
movement with the program, acting as a resource
to builders by promoting the incorporation of green
practices into the design, development and construction of new homes.
The home is equipped with an intelligent lighting system, which
offers whole-house lighting control. The lighting throughout
the home “communicates” because the lighting loads are connected to the dimming/relay panel, and to multiple keyboards
and touchtone screens. This connectivity allows a homeowner
to customize lighting options that turn on or off based on
pre-set schedules, and to create lighting scenes for time-of-day
or specific activities.

factors below; the list only touches on the home’s
green components, which will be featured in the
March 2008 issue of Builder/Architect Magazine in
fuller detail.

The home is also equipped with a cutting-edge home entertainment system. The whole house is wired inside and out with audio, which is seamlessly woven into the home’s framework. The
speakers are hidden in the walls, or flush-mounted in the ceiling, so quality sound is delivered without compromising décor.

schedule? The secret is having what you need, when
you’re ready for it. This way, delays can be avoided
and key dates met. Timberlake has refined this process for cabinetry to ensure a quality job at each of
the critical stages of the project—achieving 100%
satisfaction before moving on.
how they made it work
»
»
»
»
The easiest explanation is relationships. Robertson
Homes was put in a position of using products they
were unfamiliar with and working with vendors
where they had no history. And yet, it was the ability
to build a cohesive team that made the difference.
At The New American Home, the Timberlake design
team worked closely with the architect, builder and interior design team. Once the drawings and specs were
agreed upon, Timberlake field supervisors took over.
“When you’re building a house like this, nothing’s
normal,” according to Robertson. “You need to
rely on people who have a willingness to get the job
done… no matter what!”
Because change is inevitable in any construction
project, this house was measured three times: once
in the framing stage, again in the mechanical stage,
and one last time at drywall. This information was
then communicated to the design team—so that the
final design would capture any revisions made along
the way and help to insure an on-time and complete
installation. It also helps to minimize the need to
reorder parts. This system of checks and balances is
one way to ensure that things go right and the job
schedule stays on track.
a supplier perspective
With cabinetry in 15 areas of this showcase home, the
job of meeting deadlines was particularly challenging for Timberlake. “In a project of this complexity,
things don’t always go according to plan,” said Mark
Poole, CKD, Timberlake’s District Operations Manager, Florida/East Coast. “Sometimes trades get out
of sequence. But instead of that becoming an excuse
or a reason for delay, we worked with the contractor
and collectively made adjustments on both sides in
order to get the project started on time.”
“T
he importance of building
good relationships with the
people you’re working with during the
initial phase of a project goes a long
way towards helping to overcome any
obstacles that may come along.”

Punch Out & Transfer Ownership
All of the cabinetry was then built-to-order and delivered complete in time for the installation. With
only eight days to install from start to finish—and
a lot of trades to work around, Timberlake’s five
installation crews put in the extra effort to assure
things got done right with a clean punch out. So,
is this success and cooperation due to the fact that
this was an expensive showcase home? “Not at all!”
says Poole. “The value of a house is not relevant—the
same Timberlake quality and workmanship go into
the home regardless of the selling price.”
It’s this attitude of shared responsibility to completing the project that worked so well. And according
to Poole, it did go very well, with minimum stress.
“That way, when things do come up—like additional
work needed from another trade partner in an area
that might interfere with our installation—you
make an adjustment and move to another part of
the house without causing animosity.”

just the place to use this on-trend technique.

to hide away the dishwasher on the center island (see
page 13). These are simple add-ons that offer a lot of
style with very little effort or expense.
By cleverly removing the center drawer in a drawer
base and mounting the warming drawer in its place,
the three oiled-bronze appliances line up perfectly
in the baking center (see page 13).
Arched valances and finished shelves create nooks
for cookbooks, and spice drawers keep flavorings
and baking utensils handy.
Finished paneling and decorative doors are mounted
to blocking to encase the ventilation system and create a distinctive hood. Tall fluted columns finish the
front edges and an arched valance finishes the bottom.
Moldings at top and bottom provide a finishing touch.
The bumped up end of the center island creates a nook
on one side for display or storing cookbooks. While
on the other side, it offers a convenient area for placing
electrical power outlets at countertop level.

Basically an L-shaped kitchen with two-islands,
this kitchen merges into a 25 x 30 leisure room, so
the effect is very open and inviting. The custom-designed hood in the lighter color creates a strong focal point in the very large room. The center island is
ideal for food prep. The two-level island closest to
the leisure room contains a snack area on the higher
side and three sinks and dishwasher on the lower
side, hidden from view. In the corner of the L, tall
finished panels and matching doors blend in with
the cabinetry, but actually hide a step-in pantry.
Throughout the room, there are details that can dress
up just about any kitchen of any size. The wine rack

The New Face of Family
the new face
of family
The New American Home expands the definition of family in style.
F
or many homebuyers, a large concern is how to
accommodate those beyond their immediate
family in the home. As times change, so do family
dynamics. It’s becoming more common for families
to be confronted with the situation of providing
living accommodations for extended family. Many
of these family members come from two distinct
groups: aging parents and “boomerang” adult children. As many homebuyers take extended family
into their homes, builders must look for ways to
make it easier for them.
tion in the United States will grow to about 20% of
the overall population, equaling approximately 70
million people total. While the sheer numbers are eye
opening, the reality for a growing number of families
is that they’re experiencing individual circumstances
that may mean considering the option of a live-in
parent, or parents.
In some instances, the parent may have health concerns that make living on their own unrealistic; in
other cases, the aging parent may be active and in
good health presently, but it may be more economically feasible for them to live with children. And there are
many families who simply want their parents to be in
closer proximity for any number of reasons, including
the pleasure of nurturing close relationships, and
fostering strong bonds with grandchildren.
making a place for parents
As the proportion of the elderly population rises exponentially, the issue of caring for and finding good
housing options for this population becomes a priority for more people than in the past. According to U.S.
Census Bureau figures, by 2030, the elderly popula1 8

the empty-nest 180°
On the flip side of the age continuum, there is a trend
today for young adults to remain in their parents’ homes
longer than the previous generation, and also for many
adult children to return to live with parents after living
on their own for a period of time. Almost 15% of all U.S.
families included at least one adult child in 2005, according to Census Bureau statistics, up 3% since 1970. A
Census analysis attributed the increase to delayed marriage and increasing costs to establish and maintain a
household. Other statistics point to current home prices
outpacing income growth, making it difficult for young
adults, even those embarking on professional careers, to
have the means to save a down payment for a home.
living the suite life
The good news is that there’s an opportunity for more
family togetherness than in the recent past. The challenge? Figuring out how multigenerational families can
live peaceably under the same roof. One key to success
seems to be separate living spaces for each generation.
The New American Home 2008 meets this challenge
head-on with its designated family suite. Whether
a family needs to accommodate an aging parent, or
a boomerang child, the suite is cleverly designed to
include a living area and kitchenette, in addition to
a guest bedroom and an adjacent bath. A secondary
entrance offers private access to the suite without
entering through the home’s primary public areas.
One especially unique solution that Timberlake provided was housing the television in the back of the
island in the open kitchenette/seating area, which
makes efficient use of the compact space. The countertop extension off one side of the island is another
way the island is able to fill multiple roles.
Even for the closest knit of families, close living quarters can create strain on relationships. The separate
family suite allows boundaries to be established, and
privacy to be respected, which is an important ingredient to the success of a multigenerational living arrangement. And let’s not forget extended-stay guests
that fall outside of the aging parent or boomerang
children categories. With a dedicated family suite,
whoever the guests may be, and for as long as they
stay, they have their own private space that meets
all of their needs; they won’t feel as though they’re
imposing, and the homeowners won’t feel like
unwanted houseguests are treading on their turf.
As the trend continues toward multigenerational living, there will be an increased demand for family suites,
and builders will need to rise to the challenge to offer
families solutions for this type of living arrangement.
Family: you can’t live without them, and sometimes
you do have to live with them. Well-designed family
suites can make the experience practical—and even
enjoyable—for all generations involved.

water’s edge inspires
water features
The love of water is clearly evident throughout this spectacular
house—inside and out.
T
he way into some homebuyers’ hearts might
just be by way of water. That’s because of the
increasing popularity of water features, as people
look to water to infuse its calming influence into
their often hectic and hurried daily lives.
elevation of the home, the view takes in the outdoor
Jacuzzi, which flows lazily into the horizon pool,
which then draws the eye to the lush world beyond.
The Roman corners of the Jacuzzi are reminiscent
of classic architecture, and remind us that water
has long been used as a focal point in architectural
design, going as far back as Greek and Roman times,
when courtyards and gardens featured grandiose
fountains and waterfalls that served to create an
ambiance fit for royalty. Water’s soothing properties have remained unchanged throughout the years,
and water features seem to serve a need especially
important in today’s culture, which is to provide
a calming counterbalance to our fast-paced lives.
Water is considered therapeutic, and when used in
design features within a home, the sound of running water is even thought to provide health and
psychological benefits to those within earshot of its
meditative cadence.
In the case of The New American Home 2008, no
matter where you look, you’re aware that you’re
never far from water—or its inspiration. The home
is located in Southeast Orlando, and set on Lake
Nona, a 7,000-acre mixed-use development plan for
Central Florida’s fastest growing region. The community boasts natural landscapes, including fresh
water lakes and a nature preserve, as well as luxurious amenities, such as the world-renowned Lake
Nona Golf & Country Club. The New American
As homeowners look for more and different ways
to use water to enhance their homes, interior water
features have gained in popularity. The New American Home offers a waterfall on the wall in the master
bath between the two vanities. The feeling of bringing
the outdoors in is perpetuated by the waterfall, and
the color way of azure blue hand-blocked wallpaper
in the room evokes the color of water as well. When
interior water features began to emerge, it was more
common to see tabletop waterfalls and fountains;
however, waterfalls that cascade down walls are now
embraced more often, and are an efficient use of
vertical space that can create a dramatic affect.
From the interior waterfall in the master bath, to the
Jacuzzi and pool, to the fresh water lake the home is
set on, the dynamic nature of water buoys the spirits
and pleases the eye. When water is used in this way,
even if a home doesn’t have the benefit of sitting
waterfront, it can cause a potential homebuyer to
catch the drift that water helps calm the soul, and
they might just be tempted to dive right in. Home is the first house to be built in the exclusive
Water’s Edge section of Lake Nona, a gated, 11-lot
parcel reserved for custom-built waterfront homes.
On the outside, it’s clear to see what’s so special
about this idyllic atmosphere. The home is situated
so that waterfront views abound. Because the area
is adjacent to the nature preserve, it feels as though
the natural world has remained untouched, and
its pristine beauty shines through. From the rear
