RIVERSIDE, Calif., June 4 /PRNewswire/ -- Fleetwood Homes has

National Industry Awards for excellence in design. Top honors were
awarded to Fleetwood in the following categories: Manufactured
Single-Section Concept, Manufactured Concept Under 1,800 Square
Feet, Manufactured Concept Over 1,800 Square Feet, and Manufactured
Single-Section Home. The awards were presented during the 2008
National Congress & Expo for Manufactured and Modular Housing
in Las Vegas, Nevada. "Our design team continues to respond to the
desires of homebuyers by designing innovative and beautiful homes,"
said Charles E. Lott, president of Fleetwood's Housing Group. "We
are proud to be consistently recognized by our peers in the
manufactured housing industry as a leader in developing creative
and functional homes." Manufactured Single-Section Concept: Cabin
Fever This rustic cabin features country living space that promotes
outdoor and family activities. It is the perfect get-away place for
the individual looking for a solitary experience or for small
families. And, there is ample storage to safely guard seasonal gear
and games. The log cabin exterior and the large porch appeal to
lovers of nature and the outdoors. Manufactured Concept Under 1,800
Square Feet: Prairie House The openness of this modern wide-open
floor plan is emphasized by its 12-foot soaring ceilings and
floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the living area, which wash the
home in natural light. The vast family room opens to the functional
kitchen, creating a perfect space to entertain family and friends.
Practical touches are seen at every turn, including a mudroom,
direct access to the laundry room from the master bedroom walk-in
closet, and extensive storage space throughout. Manufactured
Concept Over 1,800 Square Feet: Valencia Coming home to the
Valencia is like coming home to a vacation get-away. This
three-bedroom home has an open design. The glass tile water
fountain in the entry sets the mood for this spacious, relaxing
home. It is perfect for an active young family with teens due to
the indoor and outdoor living spaces. Clutter and conflict are
minimized with ample storage space and individual washing areas.
There is a place for everything and everyone has his or her own
space. Manufactured Single-Section Home: Mini Pod This home is
smartly designed with creative uses of space and options that make
it perfect for many lifestyles. There are numerous expansion pod
options allowing for flexibility and customization within
restricted square-footage requirements. Even with limited space,
families can make this home uniquely theirs. The pod options
include an entry vestibule, a back porch, expanded living space in
the bedroom or living room, or a storage shed. The innovative use
of space in this home creates an atmosphere of spaciousness and
openness, making living much easier, all within a small footprint.
