LAKE FOREST, Calif., /PRNewswire/ -- At a time when homeowners are investing in highly flexible and usable spaces, Country Living features Kwikset® as a smart and convenient security solution throughout its 2012 House of the Year micro-cottage project. Kwikset's sponsorship will extend smart security options to a kitchen, office and guest bedroom with Kwikset's Signature Series™ products. Kwikset's SmartKey® re-key technology and SmartCode™ keyless entry products are featured in each of the micro-cottages.
"Country Living is well-known for celebrating stylish interiors that reflect their readers' interests and personal journeys," said Tracy Haugh, senior brand manager, Kwikset. "By partnering with the House of the Year, we will showcase how Kwikset's smart, simple security solutions align with homeowners' unique lifestyles and style preferences."
"We're so glad to have Kwikset lend their support to the House of the Year project," says Sarah Gray Miller, editor in chief, Country Living. "Like with all homes, it was important to ensure the safety of Country Living's House of the Year, and Kwikset made that process seamless and easy."
Country Living's 2012 House of the Year building project, Room to Spare, consists of three separate single room micro-cottages approximately 250 square feet each. Separate from the main home, these cottages enable homeowners to add space without the hassle and inconvenience of major construction. The micro-cottages were displayed at The World Financial Center and open to the public for one week in May. Additionally, homeowners can tour the cottages in the September issue of Country Living and virtually on August 7, when the issue hits newsstands.
