The Showcase of Homes – June 21-22, 2025
The Sanctuary at Hope Farms

Architectural Resource is extremely pleased to share with you a unique home.
This project, christened “The Sanctuary at Hope Farms,” was conceived to embrace the expansiveness of the surrounding fields and sky. The Sanctuary at Hope Farms is an Organic Modern styled, sustainable, ultra-green, all-electric, high-performance new construction home.
This home has been designed to achieve US DOE Zero Energy Ready Home certification. This means it will have the capacity to be a Net Zero Energy home – generating over the course of the year as much energy as it needs, creating an Energy-Free Future for our clients.
Designed embracing Aging-In-Place and FEMA Storm Safe principles allows effortless accommodation for our clients as they age and provides security no matter what life, or Mother Nature, might throw at them. Also designed to have an Ultra-Low Carbon Footprint employing several key features including a concrete-free Permanent Wood Foundation.
Come see cutting-edge sustainability married to contemporary style, learn what constitutes a resilient, high-performance home, and take away inspiration for your own project. The Homes of the Future – Today®
