At last week’s International Builders Show in Florida, visitors had chance to see this year’s The New American Home (TNAH), a showcase of smart living, design and sustainability featuring technology from LG Electronics.

South Korean firm LG integrated products throughout the home, spanning HVAC, smart home appliances, OLED TVs and LG ThinQ connectivity, establishing TNAH as a benchmark for a connected living experience.

In collaboration with the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB, www.nahb.org), this year’s official show home features LG’s consumer electronics, laundry innovations and HVAC, anchored by built-in kitchen appliances from luxury brand SKS.

Built by Alair Homes (alairhomes.com) and designed by Michael Wenrich Architects, the 43rd edition of TNAH goes beyond traditional luxury, serving as a philanthropic platform in support of Jonathan’s Landing Foundation and its mission to empower adults with autism. Spanning 850 square metres of living space, the Winter Park, Florida, residence blends design, sustainability and technology with an emphasis on community and connection.

“Our collaboration with Alair Homes and TNAH allows us to show builders how LG and SKS can deliver not just individual products, but a completely integrated luxury lifestyle that is both innovative and sustainable,” said Randy Warner, vice president of LG and SKS. “From the professional-grade SKS kitchen to the comprehensive LG ThinQ ecosystem, smart appliances, advanced HVAC and best-in-class displays, we are demonstrating what’s possible for the modern homeowner.”

Designed to support everyday moments, large-scale gatherings and philanthropic efforts, the SKS kitchen serves as a hub of the home, balancing performance with design. The space includes the Gas Pro range with six burners and griddle, integrated column refrigerator with precise temperature control, Power-Steam dishwasher and the integrated column wine refrigerator.

The neighbouring bar area has the SKS undercounter convertible refrigerator and freezer drawers, while the back kitchen functions as a catering space, equipped with an additional Dual-Fuel Pro range with built-in sous vide, induction and gas cooking, along with the SKS Transitional Series Combi Wall oven with speed cook and steam-combi functionality.

Smart laundry appliances including the LG WashTower are featured throughout the main residence and separate garage apartment. These laundry systems offer efficient cleaning while reducing water and energy usage, ensuring clothes are cared for effectively and sustainably. Complementing the laundry experience is the LG Styler steam clothing care system. Using TrueSteam technology, the Styler sanitises, deodorises and reduces wrinkles without harsh chemicals.

Through the LG ThinQ app, homeowners can monitor and control cycles remotely, enhancing convenience and creating a connected living experience.

Driving TNAH’s energy efficiency and occupant comfort, LG’s HVAC products within the home are engineered to accommodate daily living and large-scale entertainment. The project integrates elements of LG’s portfolio, including the Multi VS VRF, inverter heat pump water heater and ThinQ smart home integration. To accommodate the heating and cooling needs for its large occupancy fluctuations while still meeting the project’s energy efficiency goals, LG developed a supplemental HVAC design consisting of separate units dedicated for events. This contributes to the home’s overall energy reduction as the products remain off until larger events necessitate their use.

Throughout the home, LG OLED Evo G5 series TVs are featured prominently in the home’s living rooms, bedrooms and basement. Beyond the flagship OLEDs, the home also integrates other LG display technologies, including QNED and UHD TVs.

The ThinQplatform serves as the intelligent backbone of the home, delivering comfort, convenience and energy efficiency.

Beyond its design and technology, TNAH serves as a platform to raise awareness and support for Jonathan’s Landing Foundation (jonathanslanding.org), an initiative dedicated to creating a community for adults with autism.

This is LG and SKS’s seventh consecutive year as the Platinum Partners for TNAH (www.TNAH.com).
