Design with Conviction and Multi-Gen Homes.

January 12, 2013

We start the year with high spirits and a look toward a successful year for all. With the economy making strides and a growing housing market, we think this new year will prove to be an opportune time to make your dream Katahdin Cedar Log Home a reality!

Last month we returned to the home of a customer as part of a log home seminar, and we were struck with how this couple’s strong beliefs about the environment had manifested in their beautiful riverside home. Their story offers some insights for us all as to how we might best incorporate our own ideals into our everyday lives.

Another effect of the economy and societal change is the growth of multigenerational households. We explore how this is shaping some home designs and offer some tips on how to approach the challenge.

For our Green Tip we explore upgrades and changes in Electric Vehicle Charging Stations available for residential applications. Electric and hybrid vehicles are becoming less of a novelty as US automakers come out with their own exciting designs.

Designing with Conviction

One thing we believe in at Katahdin is that our green initiatives are not only good for our planet but good for our company. One Maryland couple also kept faith with their moral convictions when selecting a log home manufacturer, and designing and building their beautiful log home on the banks of the Wye River. Learn how they did it!

Building for (Three) Generations

Whether it’s boomers with boomerang adult children, or aging parents, more households in America are gathering together two and three generations under one roof-a throwback to the earlier half of the last century. For designs to accommodate these diverse generations click here.

Green Tip: Next Generation Vehicle Charging Stations

As more electric charging vehicles become available, the options for Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment (EVSE) or charging stations are broad. Check out what you should look for here.
