Located in Winter Park, Florida, The New American Home® 2026 was designed and built as both a luxury family residence and a purposeful gathering space supporting the mission of Jonathan’s Landing Foundation, an organization founded by homeowner Jason Eichenholz to create greater independence and opportunity for adults with autism.
The Forbes.com article explored the home’s extensive innovation, including its underground entertainment level, advanced energy systems, sensory-conscious design approach, and unique ability to function as both a private home and large-scale charitable event venue.
As a leading partner behind the project, Daniel Kennerly of Alair Orlando | Kennerly & Co. played a significant role in bringing the vision for The New American Home® 2026 to life alongside the broader Alair Orlando team and project collaborators.
The home itself represents one of the most ambitious and technically advanced residential builds ever featured within The New American Home® program. Forbes contributor Jamie Gold described it as “the most impressive and inspirational” home she had toured through the program in nearly two decades of attending the International Builders’ Show.
Beyond its architectural scale and innovation, the project was deeply centered around creating meaningful experiences for both the homeowner’s family and the broader community. The article highlights intentional design strategies supporting sensory comfort, accessibility, and connection throughout the home.
The New American Home® 2026 continues to serve as a milestone project for the Orlando market and for the Alair network as a whole, showcasing what is possible through collaboration, intentional design, and purpose-driven construction.
