Abstract

The article focuses on trends in timber-home design in the U.S. According to the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) the average square footage for new homes decreased in 2009. Homeowners are eliminating extra spaces such as the formal living room and the formal dining room. Buyers who seek a green lifestyle prefer timber homes that have structural insulated panels (SIPs) to conserve energy. It is noted that timber homes are now designed for aging in place.
