Tradewinds is the 10th in a series of forward-thinking show homes designed and built to inspire ideas, reflect significant changes in the housing market, showcase progressive community planning and feature the latest product innovations. The legacy of the program stretches from Dallas to Atlanta to Las Vegas to Orlando ... and to almost every major housing market in between as builders have adapted design concepts, building methods, and products from the examples set by these spectacular homes.

Live/Work (2001, Atlanta) brought the mixed-use urban lifestyle to the forefront of housing's consciousness, reflecting the work-at-home wave with a trio of homes featuring generous and well-equipped offices and hip and efficient living spaces in a vibrant urban setting.
