Front view of 2007 TNAH

The 2007 New American Home, the official Show Home of the National Association of Home Builders is cast in concrete. Precast concrete to be precise. For the fourth consecutive year, the New American Home features a structural concrete wall system. The three-story home, situated in a historic district of downtown Orlando, will utilize precast exterior walls constructed with the T-Mass technology, supplied by Standard Precast. The home also features structural hollow-core flooring planks provided by Gate Concrete Products. Other concrete products include stucco with Essroc Cement's pollution-fighting "TX Aria" cement, fiber-cement siding, retaining walls and concrete pavers. Both PCA and the Precast-Prestressed Concrete Institute (www.pci.org) are project sponsors.

For the first time ever, a remodeled home is part of the New American Home project. Known as The Renewed American Home, it is expected to feature a concrete masonry safe room and additional areas of decorative concrete flatwork. The homes are situated on adjacent lots, and both will be on display during the International Builders Show, February 7-10, 2007 in Orlando, Florida.
