future
KB Home (NYSE:KBH) today announced that its KB
ProjeKt concept home built for the 2016 Greenbuild

Looking to the future of home life in 2020 and 2050, the KB

today’s cutting-edge technology, such as a drone landing pad for
package delivery, moveable walls, a water-recycling dishwasher from
Whirlpool® Corporation, and a Tesla Powerwall® battery. The KB
ProjeKt was an innovative collaborative effort, enlisting the
help of Hanley Wood, the premier construction industry information
services and publishing company; KTGY Architecture + Planning; and
an impressive group of best-in-class companies and other
contributors. To learn more about the KB ProjeKt, visit the

“We are proud of our long history of innovation and our role as

Mezger, KB Home’s chairman, president, and CEO. “Many of the
concepts presented in the KB ProjeKt, including highly
energy- and water-efficient designs and appliances,
resource-conserving materials, smart-home technology, and
healthy-home features, are incorporated into every home that KB
Home builds. With the KB ProjeKt, we holistically envisioned
how homes and construction could evolve in the future to suit the
needs of a changing demographic in an integrative, flexible, and
organic way.”
