Triangle Modernist Houses



"It's all computers. No one can draw anymore." ~ Brian Shawcroft

My dear friend Brian seems to have gotten his designs compiled onto a site that tracks the architectural style of him and his colleagues. I remember how he showed me page after page of his designs, often commenting "and that one's been torn down" or "and now that's a McMansion".

John Holloway, another modernist architect, even has his personal residence torn down for a rebuild (see the bottom of his link).

I also love the design work of Frank Harmon who focuses on function as well as form. You can see by his design in the Bahamas and Laurel Ridge Dr. design that works with the slope above Crabtree Valley in Raleigh.
