It starts with a CONCEPT and becomes JOE & CARLA'S HOME.
Joe and Carla, like most Americans, choose to live in the suburbs. They purchase their first home in a new planned community. They love the community for its rich diversity. Carla is a first-generation American. Her family moved to the US from the Philippines when she was just one year old. Much of her family lives in other nearby suburban communities. Joe and Carla also like the community because they can walk to schools, parks, shops, restaurants and the grocery store. They have three children, aged one, three and six. Though they have a small yard, and they spend a lot of time visiting the park and playing on their front porch. They know many of their neighbors who wave from their porches as they walk past. The kitchen is the most frequently used space, and all entries to the kitchen are the most traveled in the house. Family members leave their outdoor clothing and shoes in the mudroom so that they don't track dirt through the house.
