Archadeck Featured in Local & National Media

Archadeck of Central Iowa can generally be found in two or three Home Shows each year around Central Iowa. Check our Home Shows tab above to see information about some of our past and future Home Show appearances. Home Shows offer a great way to learn a bit about us in a casual, yet engaging, display scenario. While not necessarily, “media” per se, we had the opportunity to present on the Imagination Stage at some of these shows; below are clips from a March 2017, Home+Outdoor Living Show presentation on Trends and Values in Outdoor Living. Additionally, we got be be onstage with the Property Brothers at the March 2016, Home+Outdoor Living Show.

Back in the day, the Des Moines Register newspaper produced a nice little insert magazine on a monthly basis called Homestyle. Delivered right to your door…with your newspaper. A casualty of the internet’s impact on the economics of the newspaper business, it nonetheless was a nice piece and we did have several features there, too, before its demise. Homestyle mostly pre-dated articles like this being published on the internet, but here is one remaining remnant:

• Des Moines Register Homestyle magazine, “Patio 411,” Apr 2011-
• If you can’t tell, I was a little sentimental about losing Homestyle. So much so, I dedicated a blog post to its passing

Meredith Corporation is a DesMoines-based publisher of national magazines such as Better Homes & Gardens, Midwest Living and various special interest publications….many of which are focused on outdoor living. Being based in Meredith’s backyard, we occasionally find Meredith in our clients’ backyards, using Archadeck designed-and-built spaces as sites for photo shoots and backdrops for features in Meredith’s publications. Some of these only hit the floor of the editor’s cutting room. Some hit the newsstands and are sold out before we even know they’re out. But others, we actually get to see:

• Outdoor Rooms, a national, special interest publication of Meredith’s Better Homes and Garden division, an EcoStyle feature, Spring 2010
