“The Villas at Notting Hill had everything we were looking for in our new home. Open green space, high end finishes, lots of storage and a great floor plan. Scott Welch is a true professional. He is very personable and a gentleman. He and his staff were a pleasure to work with and we would highly recommend Welch Builders.” - Robert & Janet Watkins

Welcome As president of the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville, I am proud to present to you Homearama 2014 at Shakes Run. We are thrilled to showcase our 46th Annual Homearama in such a beautiful development. Shakes Run boasts preserved trees throughout the neighborhood, and nearly 80 acres of preserved open spaces creating a park-like atmosphere for all residents to enjoy. The innovative design of this year’s site is what makes it the most sustainable Homearama ever. There are no storm sewers on the street - all of the storm water is treated in bioswales. These features have shrubs and soils that hold the water and allow it to soak in, creating less run-off from the site.

As you visit Shakes Run, I am confident these homes will impress and inspire you. Combining beautiful architecture, outstanding floor plans and excellence in every detail, the homes of Homearama 2014 are truly paving the way for the future of development. I am proud of the beautiful collection of homes that the builders, designers, subcontractors and developers have produced for this year’s Homearama.

I would also like to thank our generous presenting sponsors Kroger and LG&E, our official sponsors River City Bank and RiverCity Flooring, our participating sponsor Metropolitan Sewer District, as well as our Entertainment and Security Sponsor, Hawkeye Security.

On behalf of the Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville, I welcome you to Homearama 2014 at Shakes Run. Sincerely,

Perry Lyons President Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville

Welcome to Homearama 2014 at Shakes Run! This year’s show offers much to see in eight fully furnished and decorated homes. Each of these homes has excellence crafted into every detail.

Take advantage of the abundance of expertise and knowledge about the home products and services showcased by speaking with representatives working in each home. Oftentimes you can also speak with the Registered Builder of the home to learn about the unique features that make it so beautiful. This year’s homes represent the latest in new home designs and interior decorating. All homes are third-party verified by HERS raters and will be Energy Smart Homes – this means the homes will have healthier indoor air quality, and will cost less to operate. Walk inside these homes to witness the interior finishes and products that feature the latest technologies available.

Homearama is a terrific place to get ideas for redecorating, remodeling, or building your own new home. It is also quite the experience. New this year to Homearama will be special events including wine and bourbon tastings, live music, and more.

Thank you again for attending Homearama 2014 at Shakes Run. We hope you enjoy this year’s site and make plans to join us again for Homearama 2015!

Sincerely,

Charles J. Kavanaugh Executive Vice President Building Industry Association of Greater Louisville 8 - Homearama 2014

What’s New at Homearama This Year?

By Stacy Smith Rogers In addition to the excitement of getting a sneak peek of the latest home products and designs on the market, Homearama combines a great night-on-thetown experience with a neighborhood backyard party atmosphere. New this year is a patio area near the concession stand that showcases the popularity of outdoor living, which is highlighted within many of the homes on display.

Bourbon and wine tastings, along with a beer garden, also add to the festive atmosphere, and live music during the week offers Homearama-goers another reason to plan a date night at Shakes Run. Also new this year is the introduction of green infrastructure and the use of bioswales to capture and treat stormwater instead of underground pipes, complete with guided tours by Louisville’s Metropolitan Sewer District staff.

Continued emphasis on green building can be found in each of the Energy Smart homes on display with builders incorporating energy efficient products and techniques, included blown-in insulation, high-efficiency HVAC systems, windows and fireplaces, eco-friendly flooring, decking materials and much more.

Homes in this year’s Homearama are designed to be functional with emphasis on organization and making the most of every space, however there are still plenty of bells and whistles that are certain to turn heads. An aquarium in the kitchen of one home is sure to spark conversation, while a twostory leisure room in the middle of another will convince people to stop and

admire the view. One home is fully-accessible and equipped with an elevator, while another features a mother-in-law suite with a separate entrance. Practicality meets style in one home with a pocket office and another features a garden storage room with a garage door. Beautiful front and back porches give homeowners plenty of reasons to put up their feet and relax and one has a crime-proof screen that offers an additional sense of security and another has screens that can be operated by remote control.

Gorgeous landscaping and exterior architectural elements might have some people wondering if they’ve been transported to a European estate while one lower level entertaining area will tempt them to belly-up to the Irish pub-style bar. Beautiful outdoor living spaces make sure Mother Nature has an open invitation to the party and that homeowners can enjoy the beautiful spaces surrounding their newly built home.

Between the latest trends in interior design showcased by some of the area’s premiere designers and incredible displays of building craftsmanship, Homearama 2014 offers attendees a fresh perspective on imagining the home of their dreams and access to the people who can make that happen.

Shakes Run makes its fourth appearance as a Homearama site this year with eight fantastic homes on display. The newly developed section by Elite Homes debuts innovative green infrastructure – the first of its kind for a residential development in Louisville. Conveniently located along Fisherville Road, just off Shelbyville Road in Eastwood, Shakes Run was carefully planned to celebrate its natural beauty and allow homeowners a chance 18 - Homearama 2013

to experience a countryside escape as well as the benefits of socializing together in a shared community atmosphere.

The development is architecturally unique, with a variety of sizes, styles and floor plans among its large wooded lots, most of them backing up to woods, lakes, creeks or open spaces. Home sites and roads were planned around the land’s natural ridge lines, and many existing stream beds and

valleys were left untouched. As a result, nearly 30 percent of Shakes Run is open space and vegetated areas with a beautiful tree-lined entrance that welcomes guests and homeowners to an environment that celebrates nature and community.

Homeowners in Shakes Run can enjoy opportunities to gather at the clubhouse and pool where families often swim or meet up for a barbecue

together. There’s also plenty of room for privacy to enjoy the development’s natural surroundings as well, including lake fronts, a fishing lake and numerous scenic areas. With a variety of open spaces that encourage both interaction and privacy, Shakes run is a neighborhood that simply feels like home and vacation all wrapped up in one.

A gorgeous double-arched mahogany front door with clear glass beckons visitors to hope their invitation comes soon to explore the uniquely designed spaces within the 4,524 square foot, one-and-ahalf story home.

Conveniently located drop zone with charging station Joe and Rocky Pusateri have offered homeowners a Nantucket cottage-style escape where the only essentials they’ll need are a desire to socialize with friends and family and an appreciation for uniquely-designed spaces, the most notable of which is a kitchen that boasts an enormous island bar and aquarium. With four bedrooms and five baths, The Revere features plenty of room to live and entertain comfortably.

HOME 1

A spacious two-story foyer introduces guests to a unique flex room/office space that’s announced by French doors. A beautiful stairway and second floor bridge above suggest this is a home that’s simply meant to be explored. Guests are immediately drawn through the gallery hallway to admire open views of The Revere’s leisure room and dining and culinary spaces. The built-in aquarium is a sure conversation starter for friends who will enjoy mingling by the enormous island bar in the kitchen. The area is a natural segue to the leisure room and corner dining area, which leads to the covered deck just beyond. The kitchen boasts everything a chef could want and more with gorgeous cabinets and quartz countertops to host all the family meal essentials. The great room is wired for surround sound and features a beautiful fireplace with a granite tile hearth and built-in bookcases surrounding it. A strategically designed drop zone makes it easy to charge electronics and keep bills organized.

The owners’ suite showcases a bay window alcove that’s ideal for cozying up with a good book before bedtime and bead board accents that contribute to the Nantucket cottage feel of the home. The spacious slumber area is sure to offer homeowners a relaxing environment to begin and end each day. The master bath suite features two closets and a uniquely designed shower that includes a free-standing tub within the bathing space. A private laundry room, complete with a valet and folding table make washing and organizing clothes a breeze.

The second floor of The Revere features two spacious bedrooms that share a Jack-and-Jill bath as well as a family laundry room. The upper level features a unique vantage point of the spaces below the bridge that hovers over the foyer and leisure room below. A clubhouse entertaining space and powder room encourage guests to head upstairs to socialize and enjoy the uniquely designed second floor.

Downstairs, there’s more reason to celebrate with a spacious bar area that offers the family bartender everything he needs to entertain guests. A large billiards space and recreation room give family members plenty of room to socialize. A guest suite includes a bedroom, walk-in closet and dual-entry bath. The billiards area walks out to the lower level patio tucked beneath a covered deck that features Trex decking.

Elite Homes offers many bells and whistles within The Revere, but the home also includes many practical and function-driven building products and techniques that make it energy efficient and will save homeowners money on energy bills.

Homearama 2014 Showcases the Most Sustainable Residential Development in Louisville Green Infrastructure Make Debut as Bioswales Take the Spotlight in Shakes Run

Bioswales Sponsored by:

By Stacy Smith Rogers Green is definitely in at this year’s Homearama, and we’re not just talking paint color. In addition to energy efficient building products and techniques featured in each of the eight Energy-Smart homes on display, Homearama 2014 will showcase the use of “green infrastructure,” specifically bioswales that are utilized to treat and capture storm water.

This section of Shakes Run developed by Elite Homes includes 20 lots along the banks of Shakes Run Creek, a perennial blue line stream. Billed as the most sustainable home site in Homearama history, Shakes Run is utilizing the existing flow of the land to treat the vast majority of storm water drainage naturally. Through this pioneering effort, the extra steps that developers, engineers and builders are taking to be sensitive to the environment are highlighted.

According to landscape architect Pat Dominik, Sabak, Wilson & Lingo, Inc., – the company which took the lead on engineering the green infrastructure design for Homearama – Shakes Run is the ideal setting for this type of 42 - Homearama 2014

green infrastructure. “You can design it to look like the natural features that are already there. One of the benefits was that we were able to retain most of the natural trees and vegetation – much more than we would have if storm pipes had been installed. This is the first project of its kind that’s been undertaken in Jefferson County,” Dominik said.

What Does Green Infrastructure Do? One of the main benefits of green infrastructure is how it handles the rain water that runs off a site, along with the pollutants that affect living spaces, including oil, salt and sediments. The result of using green infrastructure in residential areas is healthier water and more sustainable communities. In a typical development, conventional storm water infrastructure uses pipes to dispose of rainwater. The green infrastructure employed at Homearama, however, uses vegetation and soil to manage rainwater where it falls. In addition to storm water management, green infrastructure also manages flood

Green Infrastructure

How Does Green Infrastructure Benefit Homeowners?

When someone purchases a home in a development with green infrastructure, there’s the added benefit of living in a neighborhood that is designed to improve water quality through innovative planning. Incorporating green infrastructure adds to the natural beauty of the land and enables homeowners to enjoy more landscapes that have been kept in place than they would have been able to enjoy had traditional infrastructure methods been employed.

mitigation, air quality and more, so its benefits are many.

Instead of normal storm sewers, four bioswale areas have been created that capture and treat up to 80 percent of the stormwater from the street and front yards of the homes in this area. Bioswales are low-lying areas that collect stormwater and rely on amended soils, plants, grasses and trees to absorb the water. By using natural rocks and boulders, amended soil and strategically selected vegetation that is native to the area (and has deep roots), the bioswales are designed not only to be effective, but also attractive.

According to Rocky Pusateri, Elite Homes, “The bioswales designed for Shakes Run were thoughtfully planned to resemble a creek and the natural lay of the land. It might take the public a little while to get used to seeing these in developments. Most high-end subdivisions are meticulously manicured and to some people these bioswales might look like just a bunch of weeds. We purposefully designed them in Shakes Run to look natural, like a creek,” he explained.

“The bioswales designed for Shakes Run were thoughtfully planned to resemble a creek and the natural lay of the land.”

- Rocky Pusateri Pusateri acknowledged that discerning what is a weed and what is a native plant strategically positioned to assist in the capture and treatment of rain water has been a learning process. “We encouraged our landscape engineers to create an area that would pass what I call “the weedwacker test.” If you handed a normal person (like me) who’s not an expert in landscaping a weedwacker and asked them to maintain that area, we wanted them to be able to tell what was a weed and what was intended to be planted there. I’m still learning, but I think we’ve created an area that looks intentional and blends in with the natural environment at Shakes Run,” he said.

Lawn maintenance companies are also learning more about how to maintain these areas. While green infrastructure in residential developments is new in Louisville, commercial developments in the area have showcased bioswales and other ways of capturing and treating rain water. There are numerous examples around Louisville and the surrounding communities that have incorporated green infrastructure. A few examples of public property sites include: MSD’s main office, the State Office of Employment, University of Louisville’s Belknap campus and several street scape examples in the Butchertown area. A couple of commercial developments in Louisville that have incorporated green infrastructure include the campus at Sacred Heart and Kosair Children’s Medical Center off Chamberlain Lane, which both include bioswales and rain gardens.

How Do the Bioswales Work?

Bioswales work to channel, capture and treat oil, salt and sediments in the storm water. The bioswales in Shakes Run use natural rock, amended soil, sage grasses, and a mix of shrubs and trees. Rocks and boulders are approximately two to three feet in size and two feet of amended granular soil has been installed to allow for better water infiltration. Evergreens were planted Homearama.com - 43

Green Infrastructure and grasses that can tolerate 95-degree heat and little water were added. The dedicated area planned for the bioswales stretches 20 feet, with grasses running the full length on sections of land that is maintained by the homeowners association.

An important component of the bioswales is amended (or permeable) soil.

Pusateri explained, “We took out the existing soils and added permeable soil to them to make it more absorbent. There are larger and more conventional plantings around the perimeter of the bioswales. Plants that are highly successful in growing in permeable soils were placed in the middle so they can help drink up the moisture that rain events produce. Right now, they’re just a couple of inches tall, but in a year or so, they’ll be more recognizable.” Pusateri said that within a year, he anticipates the bioswales to pass his “weedwacker test,” and that most people will be able to recognize which plantings are weeds and which ones are not.

Dominik explained how the bioswale works, “A bioswale is more of a natural type of draining solution than what you would see in a traditional subdivision design. Rather than convey water from one point to the next, we’re trying to capture and hold that water and let it infiltrate into the ground.”

Dominick said the intent is to make the bioswales look like their natural habitat.

In addition to permeable soils, rock jets have been added through the middle of the bioswales to serve as mini dams that contribute to holding moisture. The goal of the bioswales is to catch the first flush of rainwater (a little over half an inch) and inhibit the amount of water nearby creeks take on, while lessening the amount of standing water. The rocks, combined with the permeable soil allow water to infiltrate and soak into the ground and and treat it before it’s released into the waterways.

Key strategies in planning an effective bioswale include adding native plants and mixing the soil with organic material to help create a void space that gives the water a chance to sit below the surface longer. Native plants can have roots that go 15 feet deep into the amended soil to create straws that allow the water to percolate better. (Some people call it “fluffy soil.” ) The root system draws up the ground water and naturally treats contaminants. With clay soil, there’s no room for the water to go, but the amended soil can create 33-40 percent void space to allow it to sit below the surface. Experts believe this form of bio-retention not only improves water quality and quantity control, but it reduces erosion as well.

Green Infrastructure is the Future of New Residential Developments in Louisville Homearama highlights how developers and engineers are working together to manage stormwater in Louisville. (To further slow water runoff, this section of the development also has fewer impervious services and no sidewalks.) For homeowners looking for newly built homes in the future, Shakes Run also serves as a preview of what new neighborhood developments might look like as they too are designed with green infrastructure.

Homearama is pioneering ways to achieve sustainable development design and is giving the Louisville community a snapshot of the future of residential land development. Local experts anticipate a shift in public perception in regard to admiring the aesthetics of bioswales and green infrastructure.

The bioswales, however, serve an important purpose, and when designed effectively, are a reflection of the natural landscapes and can complement the more formal landscaping near homes.

Landscape designers and engineers first look at existing soils, vegetation, hydrology, slopes and any environmental constraints such as streams and wetlands that might affect a site before deciding on which techniques to use. The topographic challenges and natural hydrology are compared before a green infrastructure is planned. Rain gardens (also called bio-retention basins) and bioswales are just a couple of the up-and-coming “facilities” that can accomplish the capture and treatment of rain water. While not as “green” as their fellow green infrastructure facilities, water quality units are also effective in treating water and may be a popular choice in areas that do not have the room to feature bioswales and rain gardens.

Green Infrastructure How Can Homeowners Capture Stormwater at Their Own Homes?

As rainfall hits hard surfaces and runs off, it takes with it chemicals from the roads and carries those pollutants to the nearest creak or body of water, clogging waterways and reducing oxygen in the water. According to Wes Sydnor, MS4 manager for MSD, homeowners can take steps to help keep nearby streams and creeks clean from pollutants and environmental concerns by incorporating simple techniques in their own yards. “The key is to first of all, slow down or catch some of that water before it leaves the property,” Sydnor said. He advises homeowners to be mindful of where the water leaves the roof and focus on capturing that water. “If you can find a way to contain that water and direct it toward a rain garden or barrel where it can be contained instead of running off, you can use it for watering the garden or another purpose,” he explained.

Additional ideas for incorporating green-inspired techniques around the home include: • Planting native plants • Cleaning up after pets • Not applying chemicals or fertilizers before it’s going to rain and using them sparingly

• Picking up trash before it gets washed away • Maintaining vehicles to prevent oil leaks, heavy metal and toxic materials from traveling from cars onto streets • Grow an organic garden • Wash cars on gravel, grass or another permeable surface so the ground can filter the water naturally • Plant a tree • Establish a streamside buffer, a vegetated area along the edge of the stream that protects it from pollution and erosion • Make or purchase a rain barrel • Create a rain garden “There are a lot of things that homeowners can do to help reduce the chance of runoff from going directly to the creek before it has a chance to get treated.

It’s as simply as making changes in activities and behavior to have an impact on our waterways,” he added.

Brick, stone and siding combine to offer a multi-surface exterior, accented with dark gray batten shutters that accentuate the traditional craftsman-style architecture. A gorgeous, 42-inch arched door with sidelites, tucked within the front porch, immediately engages passersby, who will no

doubt wonder what lies beyond the front exterior of this 4,705 square foot walk-out ranch.

Provident Homes offers a five-bedroom, three-and-a-half home that celebrates craftsmanship. Extensive trim throughout The Wilburn is a noteworthy example of the level of attention each space has been given. Built-ins and ceiling treatments emphasize the traditional heritage of this home’s architectural mission, as does the expansive front porch which ushers guests into the open foyer entry. Arched openings throughout the main level embrace entries

into open spaces, including a gorgeous dining room that showcases a large picture window. Dinner guests will surely linger in this gracious dining space before they head to the great room to enjoy long conversations by the stone fireplace, where a coffered ceiling and more arched openings reinforce the craftsman-style design.

Nearby, the family chef can enjoy the conversation from afar as dessert is baking in the oven and family members swarm the kitchen island in anticipation. A large breakfast area features large windows that invite natural light into the dining space. Just beyond, is a beautiful covered porch and deck with Trex flooring that overlooks the wooded lot and leads to the outdoor living area.

The master suite offers a relaxing retreat, with a hip-vaulted, beadboard ceiling and several windows. Double doors lead to the master bath, which features a beautiful tub and walk-in shower. A large walk-in closet offers access to the laundry room, making it convenient for homeowners to organize and wash clothes. Just outside the laundry is a mudroom entry with built-in cubbies. Two additional bedrooms are featured on the main level that share a Jack-and-Jill bath. One includes a window seat flanked by walk-in closets.

The entertaining spaces continue in the lower level, where a spacious game area and media center will surely be where the party is at on the weekends.

A uniquely designed fireplace alcove encourages social interaction within a beautiful setting in the lower level, and a full wet bar is stocked with everything a host could want to entertain, including a raised bar to serve guests properly. Homeowners can get a good workout in the exercise room. French doors lead to a designated scrapbook room, where memories are sure to be preserved in style and crafting essentials can be organized in built-ins. New memories are certain to be made with friends and family on the walk-out patio area. Two additional bedrooms and a bath are tucked beyond a private hallway, making the lower level an ideal guest retreat or sanctuary for teenage children.

Jeremy McGraw offers homeowners a house that keeps energy savings topof-mind. Featuring a high efficiency HVAC system separately zoned for the basement and blown-in cellulose insulation, this Energy Smart home will surely save homeowners money on energy bills, while also providing a retreat from everyday pressures and an ideal venue in which to entertain.
