Grand Revival Home Show Project
Grand Revival Home Show Project
Designed and Built by Alair Des Moines
A Timeless Tudor Home, Thoughtfully Designed for the 2025 HomeShowExpo
Tucked within the coveted Northwest Ridgeview Development of Johnston, Iowa, the Grand Revival Home Show Project in Meadow Springs is a striking blend of old-world charm and modern elegance. This 5,523-square-foot residence is Alair Des Moines’ full expression of design excellence—created in collaboration with Elizabeth Erin Designs (Interiors) and Riesberg Group Design (architectural drawings) as a signature showcase for the 2025 HomeShowExpo.
With full creative direction and the opportunity to shape every decision from the ground up, the team leaned into timeless architectural inspiration, modern functionality, and elevated design details at every turn.
What You’ll Discover Inside
- A refined Tudor-style exterior paired with interiors that balance tradition and sophistication
