The 2009 New American (Concrete) Home Emphasizes Contemporary Design and Energy Efficiency
For the 6th consecutive year, concrete products played an important role in the construction of The New American Home, NAHB's annual official show home of the International Builders' Show.

Its exterior walls, including the walk-out basement, were built with energy-efficient insulating concrete forms, provided by ARXX Building Products. An area of the garage will feature polished concrete, while the exterior landscaping utilizes retaining walls and the Maduro stone line of concrete pavers from Bradstone, an Aggregate Industries company. The exterior finish will be a combination of stucco and manufactured stone. Blue Heron is applying for the highest-level “Emerald” status under the newly established NAHB Green Building Standard.
The home was constructed by prestigious Las Vegas-based builder and developer Blue Heron, Inc., with architectural design by Danielan Associates and interior design by Robb & Stucky. The four-level house is located near McCarran International Airport in Las Vegas, about 15 minutes from the Convention Center. TNAH will initially be open during the 2009 International Builders Show, January 20-23, and is expected to remain open for some time as a model residence for Blue Heron’s 14-lot development.
