Inspired by the “cutting edge” use of technology and recycling in the construction of the Showhouse, Gregory sees the Harbinger House as a symbol of “looking forward to the future of design and sustainability". Being built right on the tradeshow floor, the home will open to a series of outdoor living spaces and decks, showcasing a dramatic outdoor kitchen with energy efficient Whirlpool appliances, and a stunning garden of native and naturalized plants and mature olive trees.
