The aims of the project were to educate and inspire the public about the benefits of good home designs, inform the public about the value architects bring to home building, support and expand ideas of what a home can be for potential homeowners, represent diversity for architecturally designed homes (in price, size, design approach, values and priorities), and support a growing residential market and residential architectural community. All of the homes selected were designed and built by North Carolina architects in or after 2000. The first article in the series was published in January 2006. Less
