Designing Under Pressure: How Vision, Constraints & Teamwork Built a Standout Show Home
Show homes look effortless—until you see the moving parts. In this episode, Jodi sits down with designers Haylee Meador and Ashtyn Chance to unpack the real story behind our award-winning English Tudor with Alair Homes DSM. We cover the early vision and mid-project pivot, why cabinetry starts with appliance depth, and how custom trim profiles, real woodwork, and an ambient-first lighting strategy shaped the home’s feel day and night. We talk red oak floors (without the red cast), invisible speakers, automated shading, and the lower level that lives like a main floor thanks to 10-ft ceilings and no soffits. Plus: how to walk a show home like a pro and hold design integrity under pressure. If you’re planning a new build or remodel, this is your blueprint for better decisions, sooner.
