Things are active at the National Association of Home Builders’ 2017 New American Home and the 2017 Great American Remodel, both currently under construction by Phil Kean Design Group in Orlando. Earlier this month, as part of our participation in the projects, we were thrilled to host our first Wellness Within Your Walls Preferred Vendor Forum and share what we know with some the best manufacturers of home building products around.
Over the two-day event, held with the help of the Greater Orlando Builders Association, vendors of products that will be included in the 2017 New American Homes learned more about the WWYW standard. Attendees, including representatives from a wide range of manufacturers, the design/build team for the 2018 New American Home, and special guests Tucker Bernard of NAHB and Susan Inglis of the Sustainable Furnishings Council, took part in the entire four part WWYW course as well as numerous networking and discussion opportunities. The support we got was tremendous and discussion was insightful, productive and showed a real connection over the issues of toxins.
We love sharing how making interiors healthier during the design/build process can be affordable, achievable and accountable. As we predicted, many of the attendees realized that their current products and goals already aligned with the WWYW standard, and everyone was intrigued and enthusiastically planning their next steps for joining the movement for healthier interiors.
It’s always tremendously exciting for us to watch the growing dialogue take shape when our partners realize that we’re all in this together, and we embrace every opportunity we have to join forces with all the different parties in the design/build process.
To our attendees, thanks so much for coming and for your engaged participation and feedback. We’re so looking forward to working with you!
