Inspiration

Inspiration

Throughout this blog I've highlighted and created links to exceptional individuals and organizations who design thoughtful homes, environmentally responsible communities and historically based building products. Some of them are local to me, while others I've yet to meet. They are exceptional because at some point in their careers, be it a moment in time or countless hours spent around a conference room table, they decided to do what was right...even though their wallets might be fatter if they just followed the crowd. Their hard work and dedication to their chosen craft is now paying dividends in the form of homes and communities that will age gracefully and be admired for generations to come...and maybe even be an inspiration to others, like they were to me.

Like most of the internet, blogs read from newest to oldest entry...this one works best by reading the first three posts in chronological order, starting with the Welcome! post. Just scroll down on the right side of this page until you see the Blog Archive list...click on 2011, then scroll down to the bottom after the new page appears. Please email me with any comments and thanks for stopping by!

Places - Serenbe


For the most part these New Urbanist Towns are 100% new but designed to function like small towns of the past.  Houses built close to one another ideally within walking distance to almost everything you would normally drive to while living in a typical American suburb.

Places - Serenbe


This week I'm going to post some photos from a place I visited just south of Atlanta called Serenbe.  The top photo is one of the first things you see upon entering the community...the horse barn.

The bottom photo is of one of the shops in the small downtown area.  Many of the shops have living spaces located "over the store".
