a letter from the president

HOMEARAMA® 2012 Executive Director Dan Dressman Chairman of the Board Rex Gordon President Carolyn Rolfes Vice President/Treasurer John Ballantyne Secretary Dan May

a summer tradition milestone Welcome to the 2012 HOMEARAMA®, a Greater Cincinnati summer tradition that has showcased the region,s living trends for 50 years. From its meager start in Finneytown’s Millbrook subdivision way back in 1962, it has transitioned into one of the nation’s most formidable home shows.

Many residents of the area treasure their annual HOMEARAMA® outing in the same manner as they do other great summer memories.

Willows Bend in Miami Township, this year’s show site, a community of gently rolling hills and graceful trees, is sure to be right up there with the best of them. The serenity of the community’s surroundings makes one feel like they are miles away from it all. But in reality, it’s close to everything. The Wards Corner exit off I-275 is approximately 1/2 mile away from the community entrance, with easy access to both Northern Kentucky and Indiana.

Another plus is that the community is located in the much sought-after Loveland School District, one of the state’s highest performing school systems.

This is also an important factor in retaining property value.

HOMEARAMA® has a rich tradition in the region and this year’s show is no exception. You will experience the latest designs, dazzling decorating and some other “wow factors” that are always part of the HOMEARAMA® experience.

You will also see first-hand the outstanding homebuilding craftsmanship that is a trademark of HOMEARAMA® builders. This year’s show will also include some exciting and innovative home energy-saving features.

Our HomeZone tent provides a one-stop venue for attendees to check out a variety of home products and services at the show. Many of these vendors are offering exclusive show discounts and prize drawings.

Be sure to complete the People's Choice entry form and drop it in the collection box at the show entrance. Vote for your favorite home, landscaping and decorating. A prize will be awarded to one lucky participant in our People's Choice selection process.

Thanks for being a part of this year’s show. Receive advance information on the 2013 show by becoming a HOMEARAMA® Facebook friend.

Carolyn Rolfes 2012 President, Home Builders Association of Greater Cincinnati

It starts with a better built home. At Potterhill, we’ve built hundreds of homes with dozens of variations of energy efficient products and processes. We believe we have found the best way to build a home that has zero utility bills, and we’ve built our Homearama 2012 house just that way.

Solar Panels

Potterhill Homes offers Solar Panels to help achieve zero utility costs.

Credit*.

A 5 Kilowatt solar panel system is installed on THE ZERO ENERGY HOME at Homearama.

This system is eligible for a 30% Federal Tax In addition, the solar panels will earn income for the homeowner by generating Solar Renewable Energy Credits (or SREC’s).

Power companies will buy these SREC’s for cash, and the solar panels will help offset the energy bill. Solar is the energy option that actually pays for itself!

Elegance and Efficiency A home has to be practical and beautiful too. Potterhill homes feature striking designs, elegant details, and practical functionality. Great homes, great neighborhoods, great prices.

That’s Potterhill.

Green is not a fad. It is a responsible way to build and Potterhill Homes is committed to the cause for the long haul. Some day, all homes This home is sure to be a show stopper featuring Potterhill will be built to this standard.

HOMEARAMA® celebrates its golden anniversary

By Alice P. Drake HOMEARAMA® has been bringing together eclectic groups of inspired builders and dream-worthy homes for a jaw-dropping 50 times! That tradition of excellence is once again on display at this year’s show, with six homes that range in price from $675,000 to $1,000,000+ and offer functionality, energy-efficiency and relaxing environments. From one-story traditionals to Europeaninspired essentials to Crafstman-style plans and more, these homes are sure to please even the most discriminating tastes. The exclusive Willows Bend community in a fabulous Miami Township location is also a bonus feature this year.

“Our 50th HOMEARAMA® is a real milestone in the history of our organization and the Greater Cincinnati region. From its beginning in 1962, HOMEARAMA® has represented the cultural evolutions in home design, decorating, furnishings and technology. In the early years the show homes were functional, but not overly extravagant.

As the look and feel of our homes took on more importance so did the scale and grandeur of HOMEARAMA®.

This year’s show features an intelligent blend of functionality, technology and livability,” says Dan Dressman, executive director of the Home Builders Association.

New faces and old favorites unite at HOMEARAMA®

to create dynamic spaces that will be remembered, interpreted and even reproduced for many years. The six formidable builders who are represented, along with their architects/design planners, interior designers and landscapers, showcase their fascinating design elements with everyday life in mind. The latest trends in technology, bathrooms, kitchens and living spaces are married to the idea of mixing family time with entertaining. Rooms flow into one another, master suites are relaxing retreats and outdoor spaces have never been more welcoming.

Carolyn Rolfes, owner of Potterhill Homes, LLC, explains why this year is the best time to debut the company’s new premier collection of homes. “We have been in CiTiRAMA® five times and are always trying to stay ahead of the curve, stay at the forefront of producing homes with no energy costs. We found that HOMEARAMA® is a good market for people who are really interested in the area of energy efficiency on a more luxurious scale.”

A multitude of gifted craftsmen have been working nonstop to bring together winning elements with dazzling designs for this golden anniversary that is HOMEARAMA® 2012 at Willows Bend. So have fun, gather great ideas and be inspired.

Enjoy the show!

celebrates fifty years of home-building innovation

By Sarah J. Dills HOMEARAMA® turns the big 50 with the same elegance, grace and style they’ve brought to Cincinnati since 1962 – proving that fifty really is the new thirty. And while some connotations of turning fifty are negative – think Over the Hill – there is a sophistication and wisdom that comes only with age. ● Over the last fifty years, HOMEARAMA® has brought some amazing residential design to Cincinnati. Let’s take a trip back in time and visit some of the trail-blazing trends conjured up by HOMEARAMA®.

The Swinging

It was the summer of 1962. The Beach Boys signed with Capitol Records, a gallon of gas cost twentyeight cents, The Cuban Missile Crisis dominated the news, and Sam Walton opened the first Walmart in Bentonville, Arkansas.

In Cincinnati, R.C. Brasington Builder was bringing a Futurama home to HOMEARAMA®. The floor plan boasted three bedrooms, a spacious living room and the ever-popular, two-car carport. While the carport may not have survived, the Futurama floor plan did include something that has stood the test of time – spacious outdoor living space in the form of two terraces, one off the living room and a separate terrace privately off the master bedroom. In 1962, Brasington Builders built homes priced between $20,000 and $55,000.

The first HOMEARAMA® also introduced us to the first mode of in-home communication/security with the Home Interphone system that let homeowners talk from room to room and even converse with people at the front door.

The Socially Aware

70s

When HOMEARAMA® was gearing up for their show in 1975, America’s climate was very similar to that of today. The Vietnam War was ending, New York City avoided bankruptcy when President Ford signed a $2.3 billion loan, and the unemployment rate reached 9.2 percent. Entertainment became more driven by social issues

with artists like Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen and Bob Marley dominating the airwaves – and we watched the debut of Saturday Night Live on NBC. Zicka Homes, Inc. was preparing to have a home in the 1975 HOMEARAMA®. The Jefferson, their traditional floor plan, housed four bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second level of the home. The garage had become a staple in residential design by 1975.

Energy efficiency, much like today, was on the minds of Cincinnatians. An advertisement in the 1975 HOMEARAMA® plan book gave tips for cutting energy costs – such as “Caulk weatherstrip and keep in good repair. One quarter inch crack three foot long can waste better than five dollars of heat per winter season.”

The Awesome

80s

Despite the fact that 1983 saw unemployment rise to twelve million – higher than it had been since 1941, the 1983 HOMEARAMA® showed the emergence of luxury amenities in residential design. The American Dream, built by Rob-Wright Homes, boasted a threecar garage, a spacious kitchen complete with a center island and a garden bathtub and separate shower in the master bath.

The eighties was the decade where square footage began to increase, and builders started selling home­ owners a lifestyle, not just a house. The 1983 plan book also showcased an advertisement for the Jacuzzi Whirlpool Bath, one of the first residential hot tubs.

The Noble

In 1996 Atlanta hosted the Summer Olympics, Silicon Valley was booming with the explosion of the Internet, and the U.S. stock markets – including the Dow Jones – gained at an amazing pace ending the year over the 6,000 mark.

Opulence was abundant, and that was seen nowhere more than in residential home design. In the 1996 HOMEARAMA®, Camden Homes debuted The Cotswold, a 6,000-square-foot, English country manor on the eighteenth hole of the Heritage Club’s golf course. The Cotswold was fit for royalty with both pub and wine rooms, a fitness room off the master suite and a private media room.

The nineties not only introduced specialty areas to residential floor plans, but they also ushered in the use of luxury building materials – like granite and marble, designer light fixtures and gourmet, commercial-grade appliances.

Century

The Turn of the

The first decade of the 21st Century built upon the luxury and lifestyle of the nineties. Granite countertops, textured wall coverings and immaculate interior design became staples in every HOMEARAMA® home. Massive theatre rooms with stadium-style seating, themed bars and lounges, and spa-like master baths were on almost every floor plan. With each year, builders and designers tried to out-do their design from the previous year to wow show guests.

Who could forget the massive, salt-water aquarium in the Artisan Estate Homes’ master bath shower?

But at the same time, our country was becoming much more politically and environmentally aware.

September 11th, the inauguration of our first African American president and the mortgage crisis eventually impacted residential home design.

And while HOMEARAMA® will continue to showcase the best-of-the-best when it comes to area builders, designers and landscapers, homeowners are becoming savvier. And it’s now hip to be green.

It’s now hip to be green!

footage is becoming a little more manageable, and homeowners enjoy finding new uses for old items.

How will all of this impact HOMEARAMA® in 2062? Only time can tell. But one thing’s for certain, it will be interesting to look back in another fifty years to find out.

The story behind Miami Township Situated along the banks of the Little Miami and East Fork Rivers, Miami Township is centrally located along the I-275 business loop and offers an easy commute to downtown Cincinnati. Originally founded in 1801 as O’Bannon Township, Miami Township has seen tremendous growth since 1960 as the township transformed from a rural countryside to a bustling suburban community. It now showcases a unique blend of residential and business areas combined with excellent parks and recreational facilities.

Today, Miami Township hosts major employers, offers an extensive selection of newer homes, a high level of services and an excellent quality of life. With over 33 square miles, the Township includes established and up-and-coming neighborhoods, but also offers many options close by for shopping at Target, Kohl’s, Walmart and more. You can also go to restaurants like Red Robin, Quaker Steak & Lube, Mama Vita’s or Paxton’s Grill before catching the latest movie releases at the Rave Motion Pictures Milford 16.

The Little Miami Bike Trail, which originates in Newtown and follows the route of a former railroad for approximately 80 miles, can be easily accessed at a variety of entry points, including Miami Riverview Park. This paved pathway is ideal for biking, jogging or walking. Miami Township proudly calls itself one of the fastest-growing, family-friendly areas in Greater Cincinnati. It’s easy to see why!

Parks and recreation With approximately 300 acres of green space, there are five parks in the Miami Township Park System: Community Park on Buckwheat Road, Paxton Ramsey Park on Price Road, Miami Meadows Park on State Route 131, Miami Riverview Park on Branch Hill Loveland Road and Longfield Acres in the Longfield subdivision. This distinctive blend of parks offers something for everyone, including baseball, soccer and football fields, as well as basketball, tennis and volleyball courts. There is also a catch-and-release fishing lake, walking trails, a skate park and Bark Park for an informal doggy play date.

The parks have several pavilions and facilities, which Miami Township residents can reserve for a minimal price, and nonresidents for a competitive price. Parties, special events, bridal showers and much more can be held there.

The Miami Township Civic Center is an exceptional facility housing several meeting rooms, two full-size multi-purpose rooms, technology equipped classrooms, smaller meeting rooms and an aerobic studio. The 39,000-square-foot building also houses the administration offices of the Miami Township staff, as well as the year-round Recreation Department staff.

The conference rooms and multi-purpose versatile space make these areas ideal for just about any use, including an incredible array of summer camps for kids! Cushioned floors are designed for dance, aerobics, martial arts training, or just about any physical fitness activity you can think of, including yoga.

The master suite is privately located on the opposite side of the home’s first floor guest suite so it’s perfect for in-laws or outof-town guests. The homeowners asked for a unique lower level that would appeal to their teen sons and their friends so it includes multiple game areas, an over-thetop theater, and more.

Builder Brent Walker Walker Homes 513-480-4247 walkerhomes.com Walker Homes traces its roots to 1975, when Brent’s father Dennis first started work in the Cincinnati homebuilding industry. Brent Walker literally grew up in homebuilding. Many of his childhood memories center around doing odd jobs on build sites, and later helping grow the family business during summer breaks from studying engineering at Vanderbilt University. He joined his father after graduation and became a full-fledged member of the family business, supervising build sites and modernizing a number of the company’s office processes. Dennis passed away in 2008, but Brent’s commitment to honor the family legacy continued. He launched Walker Homes in 2010 to meet a growing demand for quality homes custom tailored to the client’s unique needs, wants and budget.

green dreams

Homeowners can turn their electric bill-free dreams into realities with Potterhill Homes’ Zero Energy Home

By Sarah J. Dills

Twas the night before HOMEARAMA®, when all through the city Not a creature was stirring, not even a kitty.

The plan books were waiting on the counter with care – Visitors hoping energy-efficient homes would be there.

Homeowners were nestled all snug in their beds, While visions of meters spinning backwards danced in their heads.

Imagine waking from this blissful, electric bill-free slumber only to discover that this dream could actually be a reality thanks to the vision of Carolyn Rolfes, president of Potterhill Homes. The team at Potterhill Homes has built the aptly named, Zero Energy Home, a net zero home, at this year’s HOMEARAMA®.

“I don’t really like the term net zero,” Rolfes explains. “Because nobody knows what it means. What I say is zero energy cost.”

According to Clean Energy Principles, a net zero building (NZB) is defined as a building that draws no net energy from the grid on an annual basis, achieved through a combination of energy efficiency and on-site generation.

How is this possible? Well, finding the perfect balance to create

a home with no energy costs is a science Rolfes has been working on for years.

Rolfes says she’s been building energy-efficient homes since she started Potterhill Homes with her father, Dan Rolfes, in 2001 – well before the ‘green’ craze began. “It’s more about building homes to be good environments for raising families,” Rolfes explains. “It’s the way we would want our own homes built.”

Rolfes says her team has been tinkering with energy efficiency on dozens of levels. “What we’ve found is you need to have a good building envelope (the outside walls of your home) to make any other energy efficiencies work.” continued >

crisp, sunny afternoon—the meter could run backwards.

You can actually watch your meter run backwards, which feeds energy back into Duke Energy’s grid. I had a Duke Energy meter reader tell me, ‘In my twenty years of doing this, I’ve never seen an electric meter run backwards.’

On a very

That was pretty exciting.

Energy Efficient Building Methods Used

by Potterhill Homes 1

1 Insulation – Insulation is blown in to stop air infiltration.

2 Smart Framing – 2x6 lumber is used to frame walls instead of traditional 2x4 lumber. This creates more room for insulation in the walls.

3

3 Energy-Efficient Appliances / Heating & Cooling Systems – The gas furnace and air conditioner are smaller units than would normally be found in a 5,000 squarefoot home. Because of the home’s energy efficiency, it can run on smaller units.

4

4 Solar Panels – A fivekilowatt solar panel system is mounted on the roof.

5 SRECs – Solar Renewable Energy Credits (or Certificates) are the Aces in the Hole for making this home ‘net zero’ or ‘zero energy cost.’

065-066 t GreenDreams.indd 66

—Carolyn Rolfes Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) Take the Cost out of Energy Rolfes says a five-kilowatt solar panel system does not typically produce enough energy to power the home all the time, so the Zero Energy Home is still tied in to Duke Energy.

“When the solar panels are not producing enough solar, we’re buying from Duke Energy,” Rolfes adds. “Over the course of one year, we will have paid Duke Energy about $1,200 a year – for a 5,000 square foot home. That’s only about $100 a month – for a 5,000 square foot home.”

Andrew Ritch, director of renewable strategy for Duke Energy, says residential solar panel units produce electricity, but they also produce something called solar renewable energy credits (SRECs).

“Think about SRECs as the validation of the generation of the green energy,” Ritch explains. “A megawatt hour of solar energy would generate a SREC that could be traded as a good deed – just like a stock or bond.”

Ritch adds that Duke Energy has an enterprise-wide goal to triple their renewable portfolio by 2020. Ohio has a benchmark set by Senate Bill 221 that states all energy companies have to come up with twelve-and-a-half percent of retail electric sales from renewable sources by 2025.

“Duke Energy can either go buy a bunch of solar panels or a wind field, or they can go to individual homeowners and say, ‘you already paid for the solar equipment – can we buy the right to claim that energy production?’” Rolfes explains “Duke Energy will pay homeowners in cash – up to $1,500 a year for their solar panels. When homeowners put that positive cash flow against their electric bill, they’ll see that they’re actually making more money than they’re spending. That’s how a home becomes ‘net zero’ or ‘zero energy cost’.”

Rolfes says she loves building the best quality homes with the highest value products for her homeowners. “Why would we cut corners in our customers’ houses when we would never build our own homes that way?”

Curb appeal

Decorating

Window treatments

A great tip about landscaping your home comes from Rob Richter of Rob Richter Landscaping, Inc. For The Medinah from Justin Doyle Homes, Richter incorporated the importance of curb appeal into his landscape design. He decided to frame in the house with beautiful specimen plants that welcome visitors. In order to break up large landscape beds, he used different textures of mulch and rock.

Other ways to add to the curb appeal of your home include: • Using urns or ready-made planters from home-improvement stores • Updating tired light fixtures • Coordinating door numbers, mailboxes and door lock sets in brushed nickel or oil-rubbed bronze • Choosing a fresh paint color for the exterior, including the front door and shutters • Getting your garden into shape by adding bursts of color or hardscaping, like pavers, bricks or stones • Adding a color splash with flowering window boxes • Repairing or replacing gutters and downspouts with new vinyl, metal or even copper varieties • Don’t forget maintenance of your driveway, walkway and front porch or stoop

When tackling the daunting task of updating your décor, you must first decide on your style. Do your house and tastes coordinate? Would you place your style in the modern, traditional or casual categories?

From there you can freshen up your look or go whole hog with a complete makeover. Here are a few basics from which to decide.

• Make sure you have a focal point. In The Wheatland from Fischer Homes, the focal point of the home is the two-story great room with stone fireplace.

• Furniture placement is important.

Configure a rough design on a piece of scrap paper so you can save some time, not to mention your back.

• Mix patterns, solids and prints. Don’t be afraid to go bold!

• Choose the right fabric for your drapes, furniture, throw pillows and even rugs.

In The Zero Energy Home from Potterhill Homes, LLC, interior designer Karen Sacksteder of Sacksteder’s Interiors used light tones of driftwood and ebony on the furniture accented with fabrics in warm tones of browns and grays.

• Choose the right paint color that complements your taste, furnishings and lifestyle. You can find paint swatches in stores or online and have a few small samples mixed without having to buy a whole gallon.

• Select the furniture that reflects your lifestyle. Sofas and chairs that are fit for a king may not be fit for a child or pet.

Leather never goes out of style.

What fun it will be to take note of the window treatments in each of the six homes! From two-story windows with picturesque scenes to lower level windows that allow natural light to flow, you will see that window treatments enhance the view inside and out. Changing the window treatment in any room can instantly update the space and change the point of view. To get you started, here is a short list of the types of window treatments available.

• Cornices: A board usually covered with batting and fabric that sits on top of a window.

• Lambrequins: A cornice with extensions that come down the side of the window.

• Swags, Cascades and Jabots: A swag is a piece of fabric draped over a pole that runs across the top of the window.

Cascades and jabots are the legs that go down the side of the window and are always attached to the swag.

• Valances: Fabric treatments similar to a cornice that cover up the top of a window.

• Draperies and Curtains: Draperies are pleated panels that are hung from a traverse rod or a decorative pole and rings. Curtains are generally stationary, although they can be adjusted with tiebacks.

• Roman, Balloon or Cloud Shades: These shades raise and lower by a system of rigged cords or a spring loaded roller.

They are attached to a covered mounting board that is attached either inside or outside the window trim. continued >

Custom woodworking There is no doubt in every house at this year’s show you will find multiple examples of custom woodworking. For example, in The Dennison from Walker Homes, the great room has a customcreated wall of slate and inlaid wood that houses the entertainment center and fireplace. The Chelsea from Hal Homes, Inc. has a spectacular lower level bar and wine cellar with custom woodworking.

The Artisan from Artisan Estate Homes, LLC has 10-foot tall double doors custom drawn by the builder that set the stage for the dramatic foyer. Look for other varieties of custom woodworking in each of the

houses, including: • Handcrafted furniture • Custom-made cabinets and range hoods • Molding: layered crown, trim molding, cornice, chair-rail, baseboard, pilasters, cove, pediments, frieze, L-shaped or flexible • Window and door casings • Coffered ceilings • Mantles with hand-cut corbels • Window benches and armoires • Wall panels: wainscoting, raised panels, arched cornices • Built-in bookshelves, entertainment centers, china cabinets

Why Charleston Cooks USE Thermador

“As a culinary instructor in a busy demonstration kitchen, I need appliances that are functional and dependable, but that also look great as well. I have found that the entire line of Thermador appliances deliver all of that and so much more! They make cooking easy and fun, and so now I look forward to going into the kitchen every day.”
