LAS VEGAS, NV and LOS ANGELES, CA--(Marketwired - Jan 5, 2016) - Ark will showcase the company's latest modern LA/Echo Park project at the upcoming National Association of Home Builders ("NAHB") International Builders Show ("IBS"), the largest annual light construction show in the world.

On January 19-21, 2016, IBS attendees will have a chance to tour Ark's newest modern modular home, which is scheduled to break ground in Los Angeles in February 2016. The 1,950-square-foot home will be on display at the Professional Builder's Show Village, located in the parking lot just outside the Las Vegas Convention Center during IBS. Designed by award-winning architect Chris Krager of Austin, Texas, the energy-efficient and sustainable home features a large open floor plan with floor-to-ceiling windows offering stellar downtown views, high-end kitchen and bathroom finishes and private rooftop space with a built-in entertainment center. High-tech touches in the finished home will include an integrated audio/video/security/HVAC system, state of the art materials and fixtures from industry-leading companies. The home, built by Palm Harbor at its plant just outside Portland, Oregon, will be transported to Las Vegas and assembled on site just before the show.
