The Hudson - Country Living's 2010 House of the Year
Photographer and blogger Lawrence Braun of Lawrence Braun Imaging came across New World Home at the recent opening of the Country Living 2010 House of the Year at Crystal Springs Resort and shared his thoughts on the New Old Green Modular housing platform:
