This is, by far, the best example that Dwell has ever had about affordable modernism. I love this article.
This article was so inspiring to me! One of my favourite articles to date.
I really like this house, but I don't necessarily like what they've done with it. It's very personal, but Austin can get a little TOO vintage and DIY sometimes. ryanmulkey.blogspot.com
Finally, an article involving a non rich couple. There is hope for me yet!
Beautiful, I love it!
thanks for tackling a far more vexing problem than "i have a lot of money to spend, how can i do it with style?" finally, a real people article. more please.
Particullarly, I have found this enchanted home quite lonely and dull . Although their are many cute little homes, this one has a nice overall arch..However it is too plain for my taste.It does have a pinch of 50's which makes it more creative .A few meloncholy colors did not make it look better either.
@ Georgina Gustin: Enough with this Green Charade. "Green concepts define the house from the ground up. A concrete slab serves as the floor..." Concrete IS NOT green. Even recycled concrete takes mega energy to produce. Where are you getting your information from? China has passed the U.S. as the largest consumer of energy. They consume less energy per person than the U.S. and though they do have a much larger population it should be apparent the energy is being used for industry and construction, concrete being one of the most intensive energy draining and pollutant producing products known to mankind. Kudos to you on writing about affordable non-tract housing. I will now review the slideshow and comsume more energy delivered by local solar cells.
Amateur hour. Take every cliche known to Year One architecture students and build it to look homemade. No joint details at the materials changes. None. And the ridiculous "double-height" volume of the living area must be particularly uncomfortable-- I feel like I'm looking at a stage set, or an industrial storage facility. I'd like to see a few photos of Beckham's design. Anyone can build a small, sophomorically-detailed house from cheap materials in a poor neighborhood for $100k-- at least in Texas. I feel sorry for the suckers who pre-paid, though. I will say they do look happy... to be photographed for your magazine.
Still my favorite feature to date!
I really like this article--MORE on affordable modern! I love the look but the cost--gaack! I don't make enough to afford it. Although I keep hoping somebody will decide to renovate around here and send their old modern furniture to the resale shops....
Dreadful...it looks cold and uncomfortable - and amateurishly detailed and built...wonder how it will stand the test of time, not very well I would imagnine...it will be one of those horrible, little CMU houses in dis-repair, probably with mold problems, that no one will even rent....
I like it. Affordable modern doesn't have to be an oxymoron. BTW, expensive is NOT green, whatever the material.
