>> home builders are tailoring designs to suit
the needs of extended families in amber Trails.
The northwest Winnipeg community appeals
to nuclear families as well as multi-generational
families who share a single home.
consequently, home designs must have built-in
flexibility to allow for lots of elbow room and a
variety of spaces that offer privacy on every level.
in order to provide the separation families need,
most homes are cab-overs and two-storey hous-
es, says Ventura custom homes' sales representa-
tive Dave Brownrigg.
"With lots ranging in width from 40 to 44 feet,
that's not surprising, because those homes just fit
better on the lot. But more than that, those types
of homes provide more flexibility to be modified
to meet a family's needs," Brownrigg says.
