Cannot By the Ottawa-Carleton Home Builders' Association From layout to landscaping, new homes are designed for the way we live today and the things that are important to us. That means style, convenience, flexibility and conservation.
New homes offer layouts that are attractive and practical to live in.
Open-concept designs, vaulted ceilings and skylights create spaciousness and brightness, while features such as half walls make it easier to furnish and keep the home tidy. Increasingly, buyers are opting for home offices, entertainment rooms and even exercise rooms. Convenience is designed right into every new home. Laundry facilities are located close to living and sleeping areas. Mudrooms keep extra outerwear out of sight and prevent dampness and dirt from being trekked into the house.
