We love when we can integrate new technologies into our builds that help make their lives just a little bit easier. And that’s exactly why we picked the digital showering systems for our second functional trend of 2019.
Top Functional Trends of 2019: Convection Steam Ovens
When it comes to the kitchen, Sandy suggests clients to incorporate a convection steam oven into their design. While the convection steam oven isn’t necessarily new, the versatility of the appliance continues to expand. Steam, roast, bake, slow cook, and more in a convection steam oven. The combination of convection AND steam means that dishes cook faster and have the option to be both moist and crispy. Translation: No more soggy leftovers! “A stale baguette is rejuvenated to just-baked freshness… Crisp, hot phyllo pastry is baked around firmly frozen ice cream. Miraculous? It’s all in a day’s work for the convection steam oven,” sites the Wolf website.

The City of Geneva, like other Chicago suburbs, is considering mandatory fire sprinkler installations in new residential builds. If approved, the sprinkler requirement would not take effect until December 30, 2019, but as a home builder we feel passionate about this potential change. Depending on the square footage of a home, and the layout, fire sprinklers can add tens of thousands of dollars to a new home. While we believe in safety always, we also feel that it should be the homeowners choice on how they choose to spend their money.
