KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the nation’s largest and most recognized
homebuilders, today announced the grand opening of its brand new KB Home
Design Studio in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area, a retail-like
showroom where home shoppers can explore the myriad of bold and
extensive design choices, forward-thinking energy-efficient features and
sophisticated home automation technologies that are now standard and
customizable in a new KB home.
KB Home’s Design Studios provide KB homebuyers the opportunity to see,
feel and arrange choices for flooring, lighting, cabinetry, appliances
and more, enabling them to imagine the various ways they can personalize
their home’s design and functionality to their individual preferences.
Trained design professionals are on hand to personally assist buyers in
making choices.
With a new location, expansive selection of décor details to choose
from, and dynamic interactive features, the new Design Studio will
enhance KB Home’s unique homebuilding experience and make it even more
engaging, convenient and fun for homebuyers. For example, an interactive
display showcases and demonstrates the smart home technologies that KB
Home includes in all of its new homes at no additional cost and
customizable features which can also be integrated into the construction
of a KB home, including central vacuum systems, home security packages
and built-in audio systems.
Home shoppers will appreciate the Design Studio’s innovative and
immersive bath fixture and lighting displays and life-size kitchen
vignettes to help inspire them to create a home that fits their specific
interests, needs and budget. Visitors to KB Home’s new Design Studio
will also be able to learn about the many energy- and water-efficient
features included as standard in all ENERGY STAR® certified KB homes, as
well as explore additional products like motion-sensing kitchen faucets,
recessed LED lighting and more, which can further improve a home’s
efficiency and potentially reduce utility bills.
“Choice is at the heart of KB Home’s unique homebuilding approach, and
we want to give our buyers the best resources available to empower them
to design a new home that is truly their own,” said Tom Dunn, president
of KB Home’s Washington, D.C. metropolitan division. “With our new,
upgraded Design Studio, KB Home customers will have an incredible array
of helpful tools and information at their disposal to make decisions and
further enjoy their KB homebuying experience.”
