Electronic House Announces Homes of the Year Award Winners
Framingham, MA – May 2, 2006– EH Publishing announced the first annual Electronic House Home of the Year issue will arrive at Barnes & Noble, Borders bookstores and on newsstands throughout the country today. The Home of the Year issue includes over 100 pages of stunning photographs and detailed articles of award-winning homes, individual rooms and home theaters that define today’s connected home. The photographs and articles are guaranteed to provide unique ideas for homeowners with all budgets who are planning to incorporate electronics into their homes. The magazine lists all the products used in every room so readers can start creating wish lists while planning their own electronic home projects.
After receiving over 200 entries, the Electronic House editorial staff selected winners in eight categories: Best Home of The Year, Best Home Theater in four different price ranges, Best Family Room, Best Kitchen, Best Master Suite, Best Fun Room, Best Outdoor Space and Best Wow Factor. The winners were chosen based on how the homeowners’ lifestyle was enhanced by home electronics. “An Electronic House is not about the stack of black boxes that make up a home theater or a home system,” said Cindy Davis, Publisher and Editor-in-Chief of Electronic House, “It’s about the lifestyle benefits that result for the homeowners and how easy each system is to use.” Music, movies and photos shared in every room; connected lighting, climate control and security systems as well as great home theaters for any size home are just some of the benefits homeowners enjoy by having an electronic home.
“Electronic House magazine has been an inspiration of home ideas for its readers for over 11 years. The Home of the Year issue is one that homeowners are going to want to hold onto while they transform their homes into an electronic house one room at a time or all at once,” Davis explained. The May issue, filled with information about the award winning homes, will reside on newsstands throughout the month. “However, we could not fit all the award-worthy entries in the magazine, so we are featuring all the winners and runners-up on electronichouse.com.” said Davis. “The magazine and website will be the most comprehensive listing of electronic homes, systems designers and products in a single location.”
