Two-year architect-led demonstration home highlights resilient construction, advanced building systems and reaches more than 300,000 building professionals monthly

A new generation of high-performance housing is taking shape in Southern California with ABC Green Home 5.0 TerraVerde, Builder Media’s architect-led luxury demonstration home exploring advanced building science, resilient construction and smart home technologies.

Designed by Danielian Associates Architecture + Planning, the Temecula, California residence will unfold as a two-year initiative beginning with a virtual design and specification phase followed by full construction and completion coverage across Builder Media’s national platforms including Builder & Developer and Green Home Builder magazines, websites and newsletters, reaching more than 300,000 home building professionals each month.

The home’s architecture will interpret a modern luxury American farmhouse, reflecting and celebrating 250 years of American residential design heritage while integrating high-performance materials, energy-efficient systems and advanced home technologies.

TerraVerde will emphasize fire-resistive, hardened and resilient construction, demonstrating how next-generation materials and systems can improve durability, safety and long-term performance.

Returning legacy partners include LP Building Solutions, supplying LP TechShield radiant barrier sheathing, LP FlameBlock fire-rated sheathing and LP SmartSide siding as part of the home’s high-performance building envelope.

 

Reliable Lumber, also a participant in every ABC Green Home build, will provide framing lumber along with robotics-enabled prefabricated wall and floor cassette systems designed to improve construction precision, efficiency and speed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

“ABC Green Home has always demonstrated what’s possible when thoughtful design, advanced building science and innovative products come together in a real home,” said John Danielian of Danielian Associates. “TerraVerde will integrate sustainability, technology and architecture in a luxury residence that is both inspiring and buildable for today’s home builders.”

Additional industry partners and technologies will be introduced as the TerraVerde project advances through design and construction.
