Our History

The New American Home® (TNAH) is the official show home of the annual International Builders’ Show®. It showcases best practices, innovative design concepts, state-of-the-art products and the latest construction techniques. Each year, a new home is unveiled to demonstrate the most noteworthy advancements in home building, allowing industry professionals to glean new ideas that they can replicate within other housing projects. 

A principal goal of the program is to maximize housing performance and energy efficiency. Each home incorporates elements from the NAHB Green Building Standard and embodies only the highest levels of quality, safety, aesthetics, and sustainability. 

Since its inception in 1984, TNAH has proudly displayed countless products from members of the NAHB Leading Supplier Council (LSC). In partnership with NAHB, SGC Horizon, LLC serves as a media partner and proudly features the products, technologies and design ideas within ProBuilder Magazine. The home is also widely promoted through local and national news outlets, network television and in several other select trade publications.
