Parade of Homes

It’s impossible not to notice that the home called The Hyfield at this year’s NW Natural Parade of Homes is a home unlike any other in Clark County.

Designed and built by Modern Home Design & Build owner John Taylor, the home offers almost 2,700 square feet of living space on a single floor, without a single stair into a room or even a shower.
