The Vintage Vegas is back with a vengeance and cooler and hipper at The New American Home 2009, a 9,000-square-foot, multi level, contemporary home featuring interior design located on historic Tomiyasu Lane near Wayne Newton’s estate.
The home juxtaposes crystal chandeliers with dark exotic woods, graphic prints with travertine floors, reclaimed wood furniture and ultra-contemporary lines with fun, whimsical accents to create an environment that is uniquely Las Vegas.
The basement features dark chocolate shag carpet, stark white leather chairs and a Thayer-Coggin sectional that is a replication of the famed one from the set of Perry Mason.
The home’s entertainment theme is highly evident in the outdoor spaces that combine with the home’s interior, creating seamless indoor/outdoor environments. “
The master bedroom’s adjacent outdoor Zen garden and floating rejuvenation room a room that seamlessly reflects the house itself as it cantilevers into the pool creating the perfect spot to reflect, relax, and rejuvenate. Within a custom-built bed that appears to float in the middle of the room is a hidden TV that appears at the foot of the bed with the touch of a button.
Robb & Stucky Interiors blend vintage Vegas with modern contemporary design to create the ultimate Las Vegas home.
Lee Lundquist, interior designer on the project for Robb & Stucky Interiors said, “all the latest and greatest in technology, is fully wired and has some of the most innovative green home building materials available today. Those features, coupled with its ultra-hip interior design, make the home a must-see for anyone who appreciates vintage charm with a modern-day edge. This is a project unlike any other. The house is not only stunningly beautiful, it’s smart and eco-friendly as well.”
He also added, “From spectacular closets to built-in buffets, from amazing outdoor spaces to smart technology and energy efficient design, the New American Home has bells and whistles galore. It’s truly a home for the 21st century.This is the perfect Las Vegas party house. A Zen Gazebo cocoons an outdoor lounging bed; balconies and a sky deck fill the home’s enormous backyard and create the ultimate entertainment retreat in the ultimate party city. The house is fully and totally wired. Heating and cooling systems are operated through a natural gas-fired mechanical system; photovoltaic panels create enough power to make the house totally sustainable and create more energy than it uses; and it features a passive solar design, thoughtful building orientation and window overhangs to mitigate the desert heat.”
According to the International Builders Show (IBS), The New American Home is a virtual showcase of products and includes the newest offerings from sponsoring vendors such as Kohler, Dal Tile, Progress Lighting, Baldwin, Closet Factory, Viking, Whirlpool, and Timberlake Cabinetry.
Kevin Johnson, interior designer said, “This house is built and designed for entertaining whose unique touches include framed vintage Vegas showgirl costumes. Talk about conversation pieces of the three dimensional art that hangs in the basement, a cavernous entertainment pit complete with 4 plasma screen TVs, an expansive wet bar and kitchenette, wine cellar, and with the touch of a button transforms into a screening room. It’s a modern day version of a Rat Pack hangout.”
According to Miller, interior designer “the home’s impressive entry features a ten-foot custom table of reclaimed teak, a travertine floor and a massive chandelier affectionately referred to as the planet. The home definitely creates a Frank Lloyd Wright first impression.
According to Tyler Jones, principal of Blue Heron and developer of The New American Home said, “The house is one of 14 others that are under development within the home’s exclusive neighborhood called Marquis. Marquis is on the leading edge of construction science and creates luxury living environments that cater to the whims and fancies of the affluent, while also featuring sustainable designs that don’t have a negative impact on the natural environment.”
