Hello,
I am currently looking for clients that have an appreciation for modern residential design. In 1999, I graduated from Auburn Architecture and have worked in Los Angeles for 6 years. While in LA I was able to work on several high profile modernist residences. We have been back in this area now for about 3.5 years. During that time, I have been a design consultant for several firms and now have my own residential design firm. Things are not that busy right now. It would be great to find someone that would let me do some interesting work. A photo attachment is included within this thread. Please check out additional images under my profile. The album is named "Residences". Drop me line or call any time.
Please note that other styles can be done in a proficient manner as well.

Cool house, but unfortunately down here there aren't many developments that would allow that.

Good point
Perhaps someone with a solo site will give me a shot. Nice speedo.

love the style and hope to have a similar home someday...there are only a few around...one on the beach at seagrove comes to mind...have you built any homes in the area? or have some that incorporate your work? i think an updated version of the california beach/ranch would be a great style addition to the area...good luck!

Pretty!
There are some modern homes scattered around in these parts. One of them even made it into Dwell a couple years back.

I have been back in this area for about 3.5 years. During that time we have worked on several homes in WaterColor/Watersound. I do enjoy that type of design as well. It fits with the area and makes sense with our climate conditions. Hopefully I can do a little more modern stuff in the future.

I'd personally love to see more modern homes in the area. The climate really lends itself well to the designs.
I'll take good modern over bad cracker on steroids anyday!

Thanks Beachmouse!
Our Inlet Beach home, designed by Anthony Vallee, was published in Dwell.
Anthony also designs traditional homes (see attached pics of two homes in WaterColor and WaterSound) and has been a bona fide local for 12 years.
www.anthonyvallee.com to see more and a few photos from the Dwell photo shoot.
He's Grayt!

I absolutely love modern design. If I thought for a minute I could sell this house I'm in and get a dwell-esque home, I would be all over it.
There's a modern home back here off of Chat Holley somewhere around Virgo St that is rather new. I was tempted to stop and have a peek when it was under construction. I have no idea who designed it though.

Yeah, that's an interesting house. I have a friend that lives nearby. Are you talking about the one that has the metal siding (not a design prof so excuse if that is not the right material)?
I don't know who designed it.
Keep Anthony in mind if you ever decide to build. He was also featured in Money Magazine for his ability to design affordable homes.
Now that's something we could all use!!

Perhaps you would like to start your own thread for Anthony. We were actually trying to do a little marketing here. I understand that he is talented, a "bona fide" long time local, and affordable, but maybe this is not the best place to be trying to drum up business for him.

OUCH!
Sorry - didn't mean to hedge in on your advertisement. I chimed in b/c my house was mentioned.
Way to be friendly.

I love the modern stuff...I wish someone would put together a list or tour of the good ones...maybe that would encourage more people to build great stuff...and help develop the Design Coast reputation....
There's a fabulous house on Eastern Lake, the west side of it, looking toward the gulf...it's my absolute favorite...

Didn't you bring this up orginially?
Not sure who Anthony or Dwell are. I've never heard of both and I married an architect. Don't get too pissy since Mr. Rolen's house featured at the begginning of the thread was featured in Architectural Record. That magazine is generally considered as one of the magazines of record (no pun intended).

Beachmouse mentioned that a local home was mentioned in Dwell - that would be my home. That's why I brought it up.
Since the economy is so stellar right now I thought I'd post the photos and site, didn't mean to offend or step on anyone's toes - or imply that the photos posted by the other architect weren't awesome.
I was just trying to be chatty and chime in. I'll go back to my lurker status now ...

Don't sweat it Sunny456. I did not mean to come across in mean way.
I initially kept my mouth shut after your initial post. You put a link to his web site within this thread. I noticed that you were trying to rent a house. It would be like going to that thread and putting a link to another residence for rent. After that you also mentioned that he was affordable and in Money magazine. That's when I felt that I needed to say something.
Your house is amazing and you should have mentioned the Architect. The link may have been over the top.
Lurker status revoked. We want you to play.

Rapunzel,
Yes, there are some nice modern homes over by Eastern Lake. I know two that are on the east side. One is right on the gulf (corten steel clad) and the other is across the street. Wish we could do more. It just seems that those clients are few and far between.
