NEW YORK--New World Home and Hearst Magazines announced a partnership for the Country Living Collection of "historically inspired country" modular homes that feature USGBC LEED certification. The announcement was made jointly by Tyler Schmetterer, co-founder and chief marketing officer of New World Home, and Glen Ellen Brown, vice president, Hearst Brand Development, a unit of Hearst magazines that publishes Country Living.
New World Home, a rapidly growing developer of sustainable housing, is dedicated to fulfilling the convergence of historically inspired design, next generation green products and practices and ultra-efficient manufacturing technologies to produce the New Old Green Modular (NOGM) home platform. The Country Living Collection will offer homeowners classic country style and a high performance home that exceeds the building industry’s most stringent green standards.
The Country Living Green Modular Home Collection offers a range of historically inspired designs that reflect the comfortable, warm and inviting style found in the pages of the magazine. Interior and exterior details hand-selected by the editors of Country Living include signature elements such as open floor plans, porches, fireplaces and oversized windows.
"Country Living is one of the most successfully licensed brands in the Hearst portfolio and we are thrilled about this partnership with New World Home," says Brown. "We know that Country Living consumers are passionate about the environment and these homes will enable each of them to experience affordable green living and the County Living brand no matter where they live."
The number one selling home magazine on newsstands, Country Living reaches more than 11 million consumers per month with approachable lifestyle content on decorating, gardening, entertaining, travel and more.
"Environmental awareness and a commitment to preserving the countryside have been in Country Living’s DNA for over 30 years," says Sarah Gray Miller, the magazine’s editor-in-chief. "This partnership with New World Home is a perfect extension of the brand—one that provides our readers with a real, attainable opportunity to live green."
The homes in the Country Living Green Modular Home Collection range from 1,100 to 2,300 square feet with an average price of $150-$200 per square foot ($165,000 to $460,000) excluding land and site costs. Every home can be customized on demand and typically move-in ready less than100 days from the start of production.
"The Country Living Green Home Modular Collection represents the future of homebuilding and reaffirms New World Home’s commitment to producing historically inspired green homes that are widely accessible," says Schmetterer. "Leveraging a strong basis of experience and principles, New World Home utilizes a proprietary whole-systems design approach to building science that integrates state-of-the-art products and practices from around the world. As a result, homeowners will reduce overall energy consumption by more than 50%, save thousands of gallons of water per year and enjoy superior indoor air quality over an average code-built house."
New World Home is currently producing a Country Living Design Center, the first of the collection, in the New York tri-state area scheduled to open in summer 2010.
