One of our favorite things about running a design blog is the discussion and dialogue that takes place around any given post. Among all the talk, we’ve been introduced to some champion peoples, individuals we just wouldn’t know otherwise. After our post on Mid-Century Modern Communities, Pamela and Erik gave us a shout-out because they own a home in the super cool Hollin Hills hood.
We love it when design minded people choose to create community. So when we recently heard about several mid-century modern design communities around the country we were all over it. Today’s post highlights 5 neighborhoods in the United States that share a common aesthetic, create an intentional environment and establish a sense of place. These communities also serve as catalysts to evolve the way we think and behave. They are extraordinary situations – most of them have their own community websites and some even have their own books on the architecture. Being the design geeks that we are, we could hardly stay in our seats when we learned that a couple of these communities organize annual home tours – sign us up! These are communities where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts and we’ve got a lot to learn from them.
