Fan Builders Co., Ltd., which operates GL Home Maebashi as a franchise store of LIXIL Housing Research Institute GL Home Company, will open a new model house in Honjo City, Saitama Prefecture, from May 2, 2026 (Saturday) to October 31, 2026 (Saturday). This model house is designed to allow visitors to thoroughly experience "living and reality."
This model house solves the common problem of showrooms being "too large to be a reference" by being a realistic size of approximately 31 tsubo. Going beyond just "looking," the model house reveals efficient housework flows designed for dual-income households, the performance of the latest equipment, and the "total cost of house building," including land and landscaping, which are unavoidable factors.
◆Features of the Model House
・Experience of "Just Right" Size and Housework Flow
Based on a model case of a couple in their 30s, the flow is designed to eliminate waste from morning preparation to movements after returning home. You can feel the "leeway" created within the realistic size of 31 tsubo while walking through.
・Confirm Latest Equipment through "Demonstration"
Equipped with popular Ultra Fine Bubble and the latest kitchens and bathrooms. We have created an environment where you can choose equipment with conviction by demonstrating stain removal and usability on the spot, not just through catalog figures.
・"Full Disclosure" of Monetary Reality
In addition to the building cost, the "total amount required for moving in," including land, landscaping, and incidental construction, is disclosed. Furthermore, the differences in heating and cooling costs due to insulation performance and maintenance costs are explained clearly using graphs.
GL Home Maebashi's motto is "Don't let house building end with just a dream," and we strive to stay close to our customers' home building. We want this model house to be used as a place to resolve both the feel of living that cannot be seen in drawings or photos and the anxiety about money that is hard to ask about, so that customers can take a step forward with peace of mind. Those who visit will receive a useful gift made with "Eco-carat," popular for its humidity control and deodorizing functions.
