Feeling The Squeeze: Houston-Based Green Builder Turns Two East Dallas Lots Into Room For Six Ultra-Modern Homes

By Joanna England / July 11, 2012 /

Sometimes, overly modern homes can look a bit like spaceships that land in the middle of otherwise suburban areas. It’s best, I think, if you want to build a modern home to do so amidst other modern homes.
