Naturewalk Zen Fusion and Zen Fusion +

Welcome to our Naturewalk ‘Zen Fusion’ home series. These newly designed homes are the fusion of design, natural light, air, and livability. This new series has been designed to be highly effi cient with a feeling as if the home is twice its actual size. Based on a center axis design, the home incorporates volume, geometrically designed space for circulation, as well as comfort, and balance.

The open quality of the home makes it very sociable, while at the same time offering intimate spaces for being alone and nesting. Large glass areas and openings relate the outside to the inside, and formality gives way to elegantly casual living in the tropics.

We have incorporated some of the newest conservation and energy effi cient features avail-able. The home is designed to receive solar and additional green technologies, depending on the customer’s requirements. It is structurally strong and integrally secure. Taking advantage of effi cient design and factory-component construction, we are able to offer the home at a value, especially when compared to its cost if built in North America. Effi ciency and cost combine, giving the buyer a treasure that is worth twice the price.

In all respects this home design is our best work to date. Experience it through this online presentation, and I am confi dent you will realize it’s premium value.

Best wishes always,Tim Alexander, PresidentNaturewalk

Slide 3 Statement of Design Philosophy

This Zen Fusion combines a high domed center axis with fl oor to ceiling glass walls throughout the home. From the front perspective at entry you are immediately drawn into the combined kitchen and great room living space, which provides a substantial sense of volume and light.

The construction of this home is framed with steel structural elements and also a steel-framed metal dome. The specially-treated exterior metal cladding refl ects the sun, while the windows illuminate the inner spaces. Exterior horizontal bamboo panels absorb the heat and provide an attractive organic facade for the exterior.

Slide 4 Exterior Materials Palette

From this slightly elevated corner view you can see both areas of the great room. To the right of the great room is the guest full bath which also functions as a powder room. Faicng left from the ktichen you enter the guest bedroom/den which accommodates a queen size bed, has a full height closet, and fl oor to ceiling glass windows to the front.

The front and back entrance landings and steps are made of precast concrete with a pebble washed surface. This combined with the other exterior materials of teak, bamboo, glass and metal create the color, texture, and organic beauty for this home. The windows positioned around the dome swing open for airfl ow and create light for the interior of this home.

Cabinets are a combination of wood and glass doors, with rolouts and swivels in selected areas. The island contains a two compartment sink, dishwasher, and a pullout recycle cen-ter. An under counter combination washer/dryer is conveniently located at the far corner of the kitchen for the Zen Fusion model, and in the large guest bathroom of the Zen Fusion + model, locatedon the right of the cooridor on way to master suite.
