When Shakespeare wrote, “All that glitters is not gold” he wasn’t referring to the masterpiece that carries his name under construction in the Ashford Lakes section of Hunter’s Ridge.

This “Gold” is certified by the Florida Green Building Coalition (FGBC) and is this year’s Showcase Home in the 2011 VBIA (Volusia Building Industry Association) Parade of Homes. Built by Luxury Builders, Inc., President Anthony DiNizo, the “Shakespeare” successfully combines artistry with efficiency to headline the 2011 VBIA Parade of Homes DiNizo will use the “Shakespeare” as a showcase for combining the latest in green technologies with sophisticated design features. DiNizo, along with Jim Lucia and Alissa Bennett, comprise the “Green Dream Team”, an eclectic group on a mission to demonstrate that luxury and efficiency can be combined in an affordable and comfortable living environment.

There’s a compelling story to tell and consumers will have the opportunity to hear it as the “Shakespeare” team will offer design and green seminars throughout this year’s Parade.

“There’s no question that now more than ever consumers are looking for energy efficiency in their home purchases,” said DiNizo. “But they are also concerned about sacrificing specific design features in order to achieve

those efficiencies. We believe the Shakespeare will provide that ‘green’ element without compromising luxury or breaking the bank.”

The Showcase Home’s designer is Jim Lucia of the award winning Lucia Custom Home Designers, Inc. of Winter Park; Alissa Bennett, ASID, of Design Studio A, is spearheading the interior design. The “Shakespeare” is located in Ashford Lake Estates, the newest estate section of Hunter’s Ridge. Ashford Lakes is an environmentally friendly neighborhood in Ormond Beach that comprises 77 estate-sized home sites that are nestled among five lakes, with over a third of the property set aside for conservation.

The Shakespeare combines Green with Gold Green has become a buzzword in the building industry, but this time, it carries some meaning and genuine certifications.

So far the only certified green home in the Parade, and one of few in the Volusia/Flagler County area, the Shakespeare truly exemplifies the best of what energy efficient technologies combined with spectacular design elements can offer today’s new homebuyer. In addition to the FGBC Gold Certification and Energy Star designation from the United States Government, it is a Certified Florida Yards and Neighborhood home.

“Given the sophistication of today’s homebuyers, coupled with greater energy demands, both economically

About the Certifications and Designations Florida Green Building Coalition There are four levels of certification, which can be accessed and reviewed at the Florida Green Home Building Coalition’s website www.floridagreenbuilding.org. The process to earn certification is lengthy and arduous and clearly demonstrates to a homebuyer that the home is earth friendly, affordable to operate and healthy to live in.

The HERS Index is a scoring system established by the Residential Energy Services Network (RESNET) in which a home built to the specifications of the HERS Reference Home (based on the 2006 International Energy Conservation Code) scores a HERS Index of 100, while a net zero energy home scores a HERS Index of 0. The lower a home's HERS Index, the more energy efficient it is in comparison to the HERS Reference Home.

Each 1-point decrease in the HERS Index corresponds to a 1% reduction in energy consumption compared to the HERS Reference Home. Thus a home with a HERS Index of 85 is 15% more energy efficient than the HERS Jim Lucia, President of Lucia Custom Home Designers, Inc., brings 38 years of experience to the “Shakespeare.” He was an American Plywood Association “Raise the Floor” 2009 Design Competition finalist, 2006, 2009 and 2010 Grand Aurora Winner at the SEBC (Southeast Builders Conference). In addition, Lucia has been awarded numerous Aurora and American Residential Design awards. He is a NCBDC Certified Building Designer (National Council of Building Design Certification), and a Certified Green Professional.

grand exterior and the surprises they’ll find inside.

The expansive front elevation, which evokes neoclassical grandeur, gives way immediately to a palpable, down to earth warmth that emanates from the human scale of the entryway. Once inside, the view is awe-inspiring, featuring vaulted ceilings, with exposed timber trusses, and beautiful exterior views, offering a seamless blend of traditional and contemporary design.

The home’s central island hub artistically transitions the formal and informal living areas with the home’s exquisite gourmet kitchen.

“The Elmwood cabinetry is sustainable, and the kitchen countertops and many of the tiles are recycled,” explained Bennett. “You have to see the kitchen to appreciate it.”

Every view, through every impact resistant double pane low E window in every part of the house, was artfully designed to maximize the exterior environment and bring it inside . . . as does the outdoor oasis in the

middle of the house that is accessible by motorized pocket sliders.

This is DiNizo’s first showcase, although he is a two-time winner of the prestigious VBIA Builder of the Year award, a past president and state director of the Association; a third generation builder, licensed General Contractor, and a Certified Green Professional.

“I’ve been incorporating green elements in many of my previous homes, but I’ve never invested the commitment into getting certified,” he said. “I love the Hunter’s Ridge community with its newest amenities and environmental care and concern. . . and this design provided us a great opportunity and a terrific challenge to really demonstrate what we could actually do as a team to incorporate incredible energy efficiencies with a drop dead amazing design.”

The Shakespeare combines the WOW-factor with E-factor. The Shakespeare is designed with four bedrooms and three baths and features spaces that can adapt to meet the needs of a changing family structure. It introduces a “flex” suite – incorporating a wheel-chair accessible shower, vanity, and oversized single car garage with entry ramp that is tucked away to ensure privacy for anyone, from an aging parent to a returning college student.

“People seem to be staying in their homes longer than during the boom years of the early 2000’s,” explained DiNizo.

“Because of that, and because this home was designed to meet the needs of multigenerational families – to basically grow and adapt as a family grows and adapts - the extra investment in the energy efficient elements of this and other green homes will be paid back through energy efficiency and resale value.”

The energy efficiencies achieved by employing “green” elements shouldn’t be overshadowed by the health benefits of green, according to Lucia. “Those benefits include the asthma-reducing positive filtration and no VOC paint throughout the home.” ❁

THE

and environmentally, we knew we needed to get the Gold certification to demonstrate our true commitment to being green,” said DiNizo.

“We pushed ourselves to find green, efficient or recycled materials at every possible opportunity and found it helped us create an even better home,” added Lucia.

The Shakespeare combines luxury and efficiency while the certifications and commendations from HERS, FGBC, and others are significant, what visitors will love about the home has everything to do with the

We have it all at

Venetian Bay

Renowned for its commitment to sophistication and quality, the Johnson Group has applied its ingenuity to an ambitious project that’s bringing back a bit of Americana and neighborhoods of yesteryear.

Venetian Bay in New Smyrna Beach is an example of a new concept sweeping the Southeast called traditional neighborhood developments. It’s a village within a community where residents can enjoy art, shopping, recreation and even work ‹ all without a commute, explains Jerry Johnson, president and chief executive officer of the Johnson Group.

The mission is two-fold, he says. “We’re trying to create a self-contained community, and get neighbors to be neighbors again, like they used to be.”

This concept comes to life in the Town Center, a return to the pedestrian-oriented downtown where people live, work, play, shop and dine in a well-planned area with natural surroundings, says Mary Ann Murray, marketing director.

Establishments at the Town Center include: Luna Bella Ristorante, serving Italian and Mediterranean cuisine with a full service bar.

Just Julie, a home accessory and gift shop.

Snap Fitness, a 24-hour state-of-the-art Fitness Center.

The Johnson Group, corporate headquarters..

Venetian Bay Preview Center, offers complete information on all the beautiful communities of Venetian Bay. Stop by today for your personal tour.

headquarters specializing in Venetian Bay and other New Smyrna Beach properties.

Millennium Travel.

Venetian Bay United Methodist Church.

Visitors to Venetian Bay will see and feel this character as soon as they drive through the beautiful entryways off State Road 44 or Pioneer Trail. A coziness and friendliness defines the entire community. Bike paths and sidewalks along tree-lined streets with old fashioned lamps and a 400-acre conservation area with nature trails add to the charm.

Many of the homes have front porches inviting people to enjoy the company of neighbors and friends. A European-inspired ambiance can be felt throughout Venetian Bay, a blend of architectural character and modern technologies.

Families can enjoy the lush landscape a

combination of planned vegetation and natural beauty. Venetian Bay has significant natural areas, abundance of lakes and each community within Venetian Bay has it’s own playground or park.

When complete, Venetian Bay will offer 1,835 housing units. In addition to single-family homes and condos, there will be duplexes, golf villas, estate homes and townhomes. “There’s a pretty good selection of sizes and shapes of home styles to accommodate all taste and needs,” Johnson says.

Amenities include a championship 18-hole golf course and golf club with elegant member dining. The Beach and Swim Club features a heated pool, spa, kiddie pool, sandy beach and tiki bar with refreshing drinks and lunchtime fare.

Venetian Bay is a vital, growing community, welcoming new residents daily. Experience the ambiance of Venetian Bay… today.

warranties What smart consumers should know about

When buying electronics and appliances, we’ve all had salespeople ask, “Would you like to buy an extended warranty?”

“Many consumers today do a lot of research online before they buy products, but don’t know much about warranties before entering the store,” says Jamie Breneman, contributor to TheSavvyShopperBlog.com and spokesperson for N.E.W. Customer Service Companies Inc. “The challenge is that there’s a lot of

misinformation out there about warranties and extended service plans.”

Here’s what you need to know to make an informed decision:

Limited or Extended?

Most electronic goods come with limited manufacturers’ warranties, but coverage is minimal, mostly for defects in manufacturing or workmanship. If accidents happen, you’re out of luck. Moreover, coverage may be split between parts and labor. For example, coverage for parts may be for one year, but labor for 90 days.

0000920393

Extended “warranties,” more appropriately called extended service plans, go beyond defects in parts or workmanship. They often cover normal wear and tear, damage due to power surges or environmental factors like dust and heat.

Many such plans, primarily on portable electronics, also cover accidental damage. Some will help you troubleshoot technical problems even if repair isn’t needed, giving you experts to contact any time of day or night when most manufacturers are closed. This is especially helpful if your children think gum is a good substitute for glue!

Cost

While limited warranties come free with the purchase of any electronic, extended service contracts usually cost between 10 and 20 percent of the product’s retail price since it adds additional value for longer periods of time. they’re often good investments when buying products that are expensive to repair, like plasma tVs, computers, appliances and video game consoles. You can probably forego the extended warranty on a $10 toaster.

Convenience

these days, time is money. Purchasing a service plan can be a huge time-saver. not only do many offer 24/7 access to customer service representatives online or by phone, you can get many issues resolved on the first call through technical troubleshooting. this can be helpful when buying an electronic gift for a tech-phobic loved one, to make sure your present doesn’t give them major headaches.

Read the Contract

Before purchasing an extended service contract, there are several things to check, according to the experts at n.e.W., the leading independent administrator of buyer protection services. First, understand it isn’t the same as insurance. nobody will replace your purchase if it’s lost, stolen or has excessive physical damage. and don’t purchase an extended service contract if the retailer doesn’t provide a copy of the terms prior to purchase. once you are clear on the terms, make sure the name and contact of the contract provider is stated on the document. Keep the service contract paperwork, original receipt(s) and all maintenance records in an easy-to-access location. and register with the plan provider online if you can. ❁ — From State Point media 0000921990

The Shakespeare demonstrates

design to fit

family dynamics

By Kelly FaulKenham

If you live long enough, you realize that what’s old is new again. From the perspective of

home building, designing a home that can house multiple generations isn’t necessarily a new concept, but providing a home that is comfortable and adaptable to the ever changing twists life presents while maintaining a level of independence and privacy is something luxury Builders Inc. has incorporated into their designs.

Take this year’s Parade of homes Showcase home called The Shakespeare. This 3,750 square foot home was designed by Jim lucia of Winter Park and contains a number of features that comfortably houses today’s changing family needs and dynamics.

“The doors and walls meet americans with Disabilities act widths, for example,” lucia says. “and there are no steps into the showers or between the two garages and the house.”

Other thoughtful considerations are the lower light-switches and counters to accommodate wheelchair access. “For the past 10 years we’ve been finding a demand for additional space to accommodate larger families and multiple generations within the family living under one roof,” he continues.

“The kitchen seems to be where the whole family likes to gather, so everyone from the designer, interior designer and cabinet guy worked very hard at creating a space that is both functional and comfortable to socialize in.”

Tony DiNizo, president of Luxury Builders

his design response is to incorporate suitelike spaces that include room for a desk, chair, a large closet and a private bathroom while still making the common areas easily accessible. “and when I originally looked at the lot and saw the water at the rear, I knew I wanted to incorporate that view from the time you entered the front door. and I wanted to bring additional natural light into the center of the house by incorporating an enclosed courtyard off the kitchen.”

The common areas in The Shakespeare also cater to a variety of family members. “my favorite feature is the ‘hub’ or ‘cockpit’ of this home,” says Tony Dinizo, president of luxury Builders. located in the kitchen nook area, “The control panel controls everything in the house from the continued on page 38

“The kitchen seems to be where the whole family likes to gather,” he continues. “So everyone from the designer, interior designer and cabinet guy worked very hard at creating a space that is both functional and comfortable to socialize in.”

With an attitude that walls don’t have to define your space, the open floor plan of The Shakespeare allows a family to individualize their space based on their needs. The ‘stepped on the sides’ design and two separate garages provides each of the three bedrooms on one side and the master suite on the other to all have easy access along with views of the rear pond.

There is little doubt that multiple family members can live together without feeling as if they are intruding on each other or giving up comfort, space or views. And The Shakespeare demonstrates it can be done. ❁ 0000922450

THE ONE YOU KNOW AND TRUST

Found That New Home of Your Dreams and now you need to sell your old one....

give it an inexpensive facelift From State Point media

if you're a homeowner looking for inexpensive ways to prepare your home for sale, or smart tweaks to freshen it up, looks can be everything. Landscaping and curb appeal play major roles in making your house stand out and can help a home sell quickly and at a good price.

Since your home's exterior is the first thing visitors see, an occasional face-lift is always welcome. Plus, exterior updates often cost less than interior renovations and can yield greater returns on investment.

Here are some ideas to get you started: ■ de-clutter the front yard. make sure there aren't toys, lawn ornaments or sports equipment in the driveway — they're unsightly and dangerous. also, a lighted path makes a home friendlier to visitors.

■ While a deck or porch may not technically be part of your living room, it can be just as comfortable and welcoming. to increase its appeal, stain your deck and any other woodwork adorning the house. it's essential that you first clean the wood to remove all dirt and mildew stains with a proper deck cleaner, such as olympic deck Cleaner. Stick with more traditional stain colors, such as browns, reds and grays, and choose colors that complement your home's existing features.

■ You can also stain wooden fences and outdoor wood furniture, like adirondack chairs and swing sets. Follow the same steps above — clean the wood before

staining — but consider a non-traditional stain color to give your home personality.

“Pops of color can enliven a deck or porch area. think of staining planter boxes, porch swings and picnic tables in fun colors,” said Susan Uram of olympic exterior Stain. “many people only think of browns when they think of stain, but there are a vast array of stain colors to choose from that can complement any project.”

■ Clean the windows from the outside. this helps make your home seem more welcoming and brighter. to cut time and elbow grease, consider using an extension pole cleaning system or specially-designed garden hose attachment.

■ a well maintained front door can make all the difference. Start by giving it a new coat of stain or paint and replacing broken or crooked numbers and worn hardware. then move on to moldings, wooden supports and window shutters that may be peeling, working your way up to the whole exterior, if necessary. and don't forget to place a new welcome mat at the front door.

■ Unique additions can add contrast and character without major costs. adding colorful shutters, for instance, can make windows appear larger and complement your home's base color. Potted plants or lanterns on either side of the front door can also add flair.

■ You also may want to give that old mailbox and garage door a fresh coat of paint. after all, it's the details that make the difference! investing in your home's eye appeal is always a good idea, whether you're trying to sell now or settle in for a lifetime. ❁

to aerate the soil around your flowers and shrubbery as well. Water and air circulation helps prevent the spread of fungus while promoting healthy microorganisms that keep plant life vibrant.
