Tri Pointe Homes hosted Bobby Berk, well-known interior designer, in their one-of-a-kind Greenwood Village design studio for a Happy Hour on Thursday, March 20th. Dozens of guests mixed and mingled, enjoyed light bites and sips, and viewed examples of Bobby Berk’s collaboration with Tri Pointe Homes.
This visit to Denver was in conjunction with Bobby Berk’s exclusive partnership with the homebuilder, which includes a series of 10 unique collections, called “The BB Edit,” and was designed exclusively for Tri Pointe Homes. The design tool brings together all the elements that go into creating a distinct home style, down to every detail. While in Denver, Bobby also visited Tri Pointe’s new model at Painted Prairie, which showcases this new collaboration.
Potential home buyers can take a “Style Quiz” that asks questions about a person’s style preferences, lifestyle activities, and favorite color palette and materials. Once they’ve received the quiz results, they can dive into the excitement of exploring the Berk-created collections with a virtual tour tool, where they can glide through each room effortlessly, feeling the space come alive around them. They can also discover hand selected design finishes by Bobby, including accent tile details, cabinet selections, and even furniture.
The Bobby Burke x Tri Pointe Homes website also offers “Behind the Design” videos in which Burke explains each style collection and offers materials, lighting and decor ideas that fall within each realm.
Designing the interior of a home can sometimes feel overwhelming as it presents endless decisions from color palette and furniture styles to lighting and designer accessories. The hope is that it all will work together cohesively to create a functional and aesthetically pleasing space. Bobby Burke x Tri Pointe Homes’ collaboration virtually eliminates the stress of making these tough choices.
Get started today by taking the style finder quiz, then start your home designing journey with “The BB Edit.”

There’s been an emerging trend of couples choosing to focus on careers and lifestyle, while opting out of having kids. DINKS, or (Dual Income, No Kids) have become a growing home-buying segment to watch.
According to the Brookings Institute, the cost estimates to raise a child from birth to age 17 is approximately $310,605. This data is based on 2020 inflation-adjusted figures from a report published by the USDA in 2015. DINKS choose to allocate their disposable income in a different way, so they have the freedom and independence to build their career, pursue personal passions, travel at will, and often purchase a home.
In a recent survey with just more than 1,000 Gen Zers, (conducted by RubyHome), the study found that more than 27% of those surveyed have chosen to remain childless. The reasons behind this decision include the following preferences:
Homeownership itself aligns with DINKS #1 priority of living a financially comfortable life. In fact, more than 87% of those surveyed expressed the desire to own a home. The equity built through a home purchase often serves as the first stepping stone for building long-term wealth. Additionally, the tax deductions of home ownership free up even more disposable income to spend on travel, hobbies or other interests.
In addition to the enjoyment of their freedom and independence, DINKS also have greater disposable income and flexibility to move for a career or desired location change without disrupting children’s lives. A job-change move to another market is completely feasible without the concern of uprooting a family from school, activities or friendships. They have the flexible luxury of basing their buying decision on proximity to work, the airport, friends, or any personal activities they may enjoy.
When searching for a home, DINKS are seeking features that align with their strong desire to “maintain positive mental health.” Open spaces that spill out to patios for entertaining, bonus rooms for in-home fitness, work-from-home spaces, visiting guests or storage, and amenities that cater to their “fur babies” are among the few most sought-after features. They want to enjoy life and make their home functional for the way they want to live it.
With nine builders, 13 product lines and 75+ floorplans, Painted Prairie’s new homes offer DINKS incredible options to find the right home for their lifestyle and customize their use of space — not to mention 10+ parks (including a new dog park) and acres of open space scattered throughout the neighborhood for strolls, relaxation and relieving stress.

Today’s families have a lot to juggle — busy work schedules, managing children’s schoolwork and extracurricular activities, balancing household tasks, and ensuring enough quality time together, all while tackling the demands of modern life.
The right features in a new home can make all the difference. As you embark on your home-buying journey, the following considerations can help you find a place that will serve your family for years to come.
An open floor plan — meaning one large space that includes the kitchen, family/living room and dining room—allows robust and integrated family interaction. Meal prepping in the kitchen, homework in the dining room, building Legos in the living room all become shared experiences.
Families inherently come with a lot of stuff. Toys, sports equipment, baby gear, the list goes on. Mudrooms, garage storage, walk-in closets, and built-in storage cabinets provide additional space to keep things organized and clutter-free.
A play area, homework nook, workout space, or work-from-home office, you decide what’s best! Having a bonus or flexible space within a home allows families to customize space to fit their needs—and continue to evolve it as families grow. These extra spaces can also provide a spot for alone time.
Efficiency and flow can save you time and lessen stress. For instance, an upstairs laundry room near bedrooms makes washing easier. Grouping kids’ bedrooms together can offer siblings a sense of security and allows parent privacy—a win-win for all.
Families need space to run, explore and enjoy fresh air. In addition to backyard space, parks and playgrounds foster curiosity, social development, mental well-being, and appreciation of nature.
With nine builders, 13 product lines and 75+ floor plans, Painted Prairie’s new homes offer families incredible options to customize — not to mention 10+ parks and acres of open space scattered throughout the neighborhood. Explore our home builders to learn more about their family-focused features.
