Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

 

Portland, OR July 8, 2007 — Residential home design firm, Mark Stewart Home Design is pleased to announce their second in a series of custom home designs for ABC’s Emmy Award-winning reality show, “Extreme Makeover: Home Edition”.

Stewart designed a spacious 3,980 sq. ft., one-story, Northwest contemporary-style home for the Byers family of Corvallis, Ore. This home will be built by local builder Legend Homes and the show’s talented designers. This is the first “Extreme Makeover” Home to be built in Oregon. It is also an exciting collaboration between Mark Stewart Home Design and the outstanding homebuilder Legend Homes.

The Byers’ 7-year-old daughter Jenessa is battling pediatric cancer. Before Jenessa was diagnosed, the Byers had dreams of renovating their home. Now, their current home would need exponential improvements for treatment to be effective. An out-dated, dirty heating system heats only part of the home, and the exposed wires throughout the house create a safety hazard for the Byers. In addition, mold and toxins have raised health concerns for both the children.

“We are honored to be a part of ‘Extreme Makeover: Home Edition’,” said Mark Stewart, president, Mark Stewart Home Design. “The work they are doing, one family at a time, is a true testament to the kind of thing this world needs more of. We hope this home will meet and exceed the needs of the Byers family as our previous home design did for the Westbrook Family.”
