February 2010: Vernacular Studio Joins Hometta
Hometta
Hometta Update – Schematic Design
Vernacular Studio is well
into the schematic design phase for their first set of house plans for Hometta.
Our firm was selected out of a large number of national firms to provide
modern, yet affordable house plans to a wider based audience. The excerpt below
is from an article published in Artists + Artisans which explains why Hometta
chose Vernacular Studio out of the numerous applicants to join their team.
Among the 24 original firms represented are Roger Sherman of Los Angeles, davidclovers of Hong Kong and Min/Day of San Francisco. Recently selected are Vincent Snyder Architect of Austin, LTL Architects of New York and Vernacular Studio of Raleigh.
The founders are careful about who they select, and why. They chose Vernacular, for example, because they’d identified that young North Carolina studio as a group with a substantial body of built work that combined traditional and modern elements.
“We’re looking for enthusiasm,” Ann said. “We’re looking for studios that take a good idea and go beyond.”
