Awards Program Description and Benefits of Entering:
With the concept of aging in place growing at a rapid pace, the NAHB Remodelers want to further recognize our Certified Aging-in-Place Specialist (CAPS) designees for their contributions to the industry and capitalize on the momentum of the media push on the topic. The Homes for Life Award helps this educational designation gain more visibility as it creates more interest in the NAHB Remodelers and NAHB as a whole.
These awards recognize CAPS designees for excellence in aging in place design and/or accessible home modifications in a remodeled home. These homes will offer specific design or programmatic solutions that help the resident(s) continue living in the house as they grow older and/or face physical challenges.
This award aims to exemplify specific design details, features and concepts specific to aging in place and accessible designs rather than the entire residence.
The entrant must submit a series of "before" and "after" images displaying the aging in place/accessible aspects of the remodel, as well as a before and after floor plan, and a written summary answering questions based upon the designs implemented.
The Homes for Life award features two project categories. Enter your project as a Single Space (e.g. kitchen, sunroom, bathroom, etc.) or Major Space (e.g. whole house or multi-room) remodel.
PLEASE NOTE:Projects that have previously won are not eligible for resubmission.
