George was honored for founding the Triangle Modernist Houses website, a comprehensive catalog of the best examples of the spare, sleek architectural style to be found in the area. He joined those ranks last year with his Parkwood home, a modern marvel he designed himself. It's all the more striking for being situated in the heart of the modest, traditional South Durham neighborhood.
Pick up a copy of the June issue, on stands for just a few more days, to read and see more of the house.
Meanwhile, here's a snippet from Preservation Durham's commendation:
"George's labor of love has turned -- in a few short years -- into the country's largest online archive for modern architecture and modernism. Through the widespread reach and popularity of TMH, it can be said that hundreds if not thousands of people know now the amazing fact that, third to only Chicago and Los Angeles, the Triangle region is home to the largest collection of modernist style houses in the nation. That could not be said before George started his good work in 2007."
Congrats, George!
