Page 7 - 2017 PARADE STYLE MAGAZINE

I remember going to the Parade of Homes as a child and being inspired by the beautiful homes created by a talented group of builders and developers.
Without a doubt, my Parade experience as a child was factor contributing to me becoming a builder and I am confident the efforts of all the Parade of Homes participants this year will have a positive effect on you as well.
Welcome to the Parade
Welcome to the 2017 Parade of Homes hosted by the Greater San Antonio Builders Association in partnership with Southerland Properties and The Canyons at Scenic Loop. We have eight exceptional homes built by some of San Antonio’s premier custom builders.
The Parade of Homes features the latest architectural styles including modern, contemporary designs alongside traditional, transitional, old world and mid- century designs. These homes have luxurious master suites, oversized garages, mud rooms and different styles of gourmet kitchens amongst the many design elements being built today.
Open family rooms where families and friends come together is still one of the hottest trends along with media rooms and courtyards. One of my favorite features on display are the large walls of disappearing sliding doors -- blurring the line between the interior and exterior spaces. As stunning as the interiors of these show homes are, you will find exquisite outdoor living spaces with kitchens, pools and entertainment centers that have panoramic views.
Home technology has become a priority of many homeowners and you will find features that include command centers with smart home automation including temperature controls, smart lighting and automated door locks. Homeowners can connect systems wirelessly with a wide range of smart devices to make all work together.
Counter options are a hot trend today and there are a variety of options on display. You will find granite, quartz, and vicostone kitchen countertops – vicostone is a quartz based engineered stone that is produced from up to 93% pure natural quartz that is environmentally friendly and anti-bacterial.
We could not put on an event of this magnitude without the financial support of our partners. CPS Energy is our Parade Presenting Partner and we are grateful for all CPS does to support our community. We would also like to recognize Home Depot and the North Park Family of Dealerships for their continued support and participation in the Parade of Homes. Thank you to our Gold Partner, Security Service Federal Credit Union and Silver Partners, Hollywood Crawford Garage Doors & Openers and Jones Carter Engineering.
