  Big Garage, Roomy Closets, Please ; Local Seminar... - [Cached Version]

  But they bring other bees with them, said Lloyd M. Poe, owner of LifeStyle Builders & Developers in Richmond.
  
  Poe spoke at a forecast seminar yesterday presented by the Home Building Association of Richmond at the Holiday Inn-Select.About 350 people attended.
  
  Remember boomerang kids who grew up, left home and came back again?The new term, Poe said, is NIKE -- short for "no-income kids with an education."
  ...
  "You can't have too many closets, and you can't have them big enough," Poe said.
  
  New-fangled washers and dryers are hooked up with computer cables.One washer has 65 stain settings and it telegraphs heat settings to the dryer.
  
  The old stacked washer and dryer handled small loads.Now, they come in large capacities.
  
  Front-loading washers are here to stay, Poe said.But they are deeper than the top loaders, so they don't always fit.
  
  In Richmond, you don't see many three-car garages until you get in the $400,000- to $500,000-home range, Poe said.But they, too, are gaining in popularity -- along with designer doors.
  
  Poe predicts that the tankless water heater will become a standard feature in every new house selling for $300,000 or more.It's at least 50 percent more efficient than gas-fired or electric water heaters, making it cheaper to run, he said.But the purchase price is still high.
  
  The advantage is continuous hot water, he said.The disadvantage is the velocity of water flow changes depending on how much the water needs to heat.
  
  Main selling points for any house are kitchens, baths and master suites, Poe said.
  
  Expect to see more drawer dishwashers, where pots can be done in one drawer and dishes in the other.
  
  The double oven with a small one on top and full-size on bottom is popular.
  
  Poe said he thought stainless steel appliances were a fad.People still like them, but now they're going for the matte finish because it doesn't show fingerprints.
  
  Designers hate refrigerators, because they are so big, he said.They are hiding them under sinks and in lower cabinets.
  
  The trend in bathrooms is smaller tubs and larger showers.
  
  Whirlpools are less promising than they were four years ago, Poe said.High-end showers come with multiple jets that recycle, filter and reheat water.
  
  And in the master bath?Urinals for him and bidets for her.
  
  Among unusual new promising products is a roof material that looks like slate, but is made from recycled synthetics, Poe said.
  
  Some people might be interested in a pneumatic vacuum elevator, "a must-have in a $10 [million] to $15 million home," Poe said.But he would worry about getting stuck in the tube if the electricity goes out.
  
  Meantime, lots are scarce and prices keep rising.Builders could sell more houses if they could get more lots, Poe said.
  
  "We're still riding the wave.

  Lloyd Mason Poe of Lifestyle Builders and Developers recommended that those in the industry diversify, get into the remodeling business and build smaller homes.The price of new homes has grown from three times household income to four times.
  
  "We need to get below three times," he said.According to 2008 Claritas data, the median household income - half above and half below - in Chesterfield is $69,801.
  
  Poe cited research that shows buyers are willing to pay more to be more energy effi- cient if they break even on energy costs in six years.
  ...
  "The theme this year is very austere," Poe said.

  Full Circle: New Homes Evoke 1930s Style / Buyers Seek... - [Cached Version]

  "We are seeing a return to traditional values," said Lloyd Poe, owner of Lifestyle Builders and Developers Inc."We're going back to neighborhoods like the ones our parents grew up in, neo-traditional neighborhoods where you had front porches."
  
  Developers are discovering that homeowners of different generations - baby boomers and GenXers alike - are looking for developments that offer amenities such as walking trails and small pocket parks.
  
  "These types of things draw the community back together again," Poe said."It's a way to reconnect with people, a reflection of a Norman Rockwell world where the pace is slower."
  
  Poe's company is building homes that fit this profile in the Cottages of Hawthorne Village at Charter Colony in Chesterfield.The Craftsman architecture is typified by its simplicity and understated style.
  
  "It's a hot trend now," Poe acknowledged.
  ...
  According to Poe, Charleston-esque row houses are also on the upswing in neo-traditional developments.
  
  "This is a typical two-story home that is narrow but deep," he explained."You'll often see two-story porches on the side of the house.Typically, the garage is in the rear."
  
  Inside the home, the trends favor light, open areas, flooded with brightness.
  
  "Homeowners want lots of windows," Poe said."Sunrooms are also popular.Often you will see the kitchen and breakfast area linked to the sunroom."
  
  Larger utility rooms and closets are being requested, as are walk- up attics.
  
  "There is a greater need for storage today," Poe said.
  ...
  "We are seeing different finishes on stainless that don't show fingerprints," Poe said."When it comes to ranges, there are two different styles that are popular - large, high-end industrial ranges and new European-designed, high-end appliances that are sleek and modern."
  
  Counters are being topped with granite and upgraded Corian, made with quartz.This type of Corian "has the natural beauty of granite," Poe said.
  
  The trend in bathrooms relates to comfort and relaxation.Homeowners today are opting for oversize showers with multiple shower heads and body sprays to soothe away the cares of the world.
  
  "Some of the showers we are putting in are 20 square feet with three shower heads," Poe said."People also still like the whirlpool tub as part of the spa experience."
  
  Ceramic tile is the favored floor covering for the bath and kitchen.
  
  "Tiles are getting larger," Poe observed."They've gone from 12- inch squares to 24-inch squares, even in smaller bathrooms."
  
  Poe believes that the authenticity of the Craftsman style is stretching into the home.
  
  "We are seeing the beginning of a return to light-stained trim versus painted trim," he explained."It highlights the authenticity of the wood, provides a warm, natural feeling."
  
  Kitchen cabinetry is also warm, featuring dark-stained cherry and medium-stained maple.
  
  "You can see the richness of the cherry with the dark stain," Poe said.
