“That the (Grand Award winner) was by
no means the largest house speaks to the
way people today buy housing and occupy
homes,” says Turner. “The days of the
McMansion are closing. The classicproportion
house in a walking community

He points to a trend toward city living.
“The $4-per-gallon gas was a shot over

conscientious, especially the younger
generation, which is more resourceful
in the way they use energy and materials,
and dispose of things.”
TNDs satisfy that desire. “They allow
people to be more resourceful with
their dollar.”
