Meagher. large, glamorous tile showers with frame- less glass and free-standing soaking tubs, not whirlpools. Buyers also like double- sinks, but also double-vanities in the mas- ter, she said. Another tendency she's seeing is a desire for three full baths. "At one time you had to have four bed- rooms, 2 ½ baths," Wilcox said. "Now, at a cer- tain price point, people are looking for that four-bedroom, 3 ½ baths — and people are absolutely looking for that three-car garage." She put that price point at about $550,000 and up in Glastonbury. Wilcox speculates that TV home shows could be fueling buyers' interest in the vari- ous amenities, increasing their awareness of what's available. Mike Grabon, controller at Aqua Pool & Patio in East Windsor, said the company has long sold pools as part of an outdoor living room concept, a place not just for cooling off, but entertainment, which includes outdoor kitchens. "Now the outdoor kitchens are just an extension of the grills that people used to have built in years ago and it's just finally beginning to take hold," he said. "For a kitch- en nowadays, they mean outdoor kitchen," including refrigerators and sinks. "I'd say ever since the economy started com- ing back, more and more people, as they're look- ing at the pools are looking into the concept of the outdoor living room," Grabon said. n are you overcoming those challenges? A: With more advanced computer models, one of the most pressing chal- lenges facing our industry is the ability to manage growing client expectations. The industry's most cutting-edge architects must keep pace with this more sophis- ticated design technology and integrate multiple disciplines to stay ahead, but building project budgets aren't matching this increase in investment. n Q&A: Stevens Higher-end Home Buyers
