The Houses at Indian Beach

Filed under: Estates

indian beachMany developments in Florida are nothing to write home about but The Houses of Indian Beach in Sarasota, Florida bring modern design back to the area. There are 23 houses which will reference the style created by the "Sarasota School of Architecture", a movement in modernist style which spanned from 1941-1966. Modernism has since fallen out of favor in the area but the Houses at Indian Creek hope to capitalize on the renewed interest in clean and simple styles. The houses are planned to be simple, modular and modern using materials that reflect the natural setting. The houses start at $1.7 million and construction is set to begin this fall.

Kessler Woods

Filed under: Estates

Urban design is coming to Texas in the form of Kessler Woods, a development of thirty homes located in Oak Cliff, four miles southwest of Dallas. The contemporary gated development features designs inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright and Richard Neutra.The entire development will be a monument to midcentury modern, a big difference from the rather bland attempts at design that populate many developments. The development has access to the 12 Hill Nature Center and views of the Dallas skyline. According to an article in the Dallas Morning News this winter, all 11 homes in the first phase have been sold out. The houses sell for between $495,000 to $2 million.
