The Flea 4 Y'all is less than a day away. And there are so many reasons to come and hang out by the river at the hippest event in town on Sunday. There will be great food and drink vendors, along with, dozens of purveyors of cool vintage things you want and need: a mid-century coffee table, a rusted sign, the Tom Jones album you were missing.As Sponsors of the event Kelly and I will be there for Modern Asheville as always.
What can we do for you tomorrow beyond providing our clever banter?
We can......sell you tickets to the local Modern Home Tour next Saturday the 4th. And we can sign you up to be the first to get information on a new small modern home development being launched next month by award winning local architects and builders. Yippee! We will have information on our 25 other listings and can answer any of your real estate questions. Does that sound good?
Now that I've covered it — see you there! Cheers!

4 Bedrooms | 4 Bathrooms | Studio | 4379 sqft | MLS#3171637
We are thrilled to bring to the Asheville home market Grove Park's premiere mid-century home by notable Asheville architect Tony Lord of the Asheville Citizen Times Building. This completely updated legacy home has been mindfully stewarded forward for future generations to enjoy.
Meticulously modernized this gallery style interior sets the precedent for a minimalist aesthetic allowing the occupant to take center stage. Framed by clean, architectural lines the flowing main level is open and nestled in lush nature offering a variety of rooms for living, working and entertaining.The lower level is designed to be highly versatile as a studio, office or guest bedroom/in-law suite. There is a full bathroom and it comes readily plumbed for a studio kitchen. To tour more on this home, including the new European style kitchen and expansive master bedroom suite, go here.
This home is shown by appointment. Give Kelly or Troy a call to learn more. Cheers!
Jean Prouve | The Pioneer of Prefabrication
Jean Prouvé’s house in Nancy is a simple structure that the architect (1901 – 1984) built for his family. A self-taught engineer and architect — nicknamed “the archetypal builder” by Le Corbusier — Prouvé was constantly attracted to innovative materials. It was his fascination with cars, planes and rockets that pushed Prouvé to manufacture houses in such a technical and rational way, as one would for industrial products. In his designs, the economy of space, work and materials is continuously maximized to find quick and affordable shelter and housing solutions.
For the rest of the article and the 24 minute video go here. Happy Sunday!

Hello Architects, Designers and Home Owners! There are only six days left to submit an entry for the annual George Matsumoto Prize — our partners at NC Modernist Houses architectural design awards. We have had several WNC winners in the past few years.
The Matsumoto Prize provides motivating honors and incentives for a new generation of architects; contributes to wider public recognition of Modernism in all its forms (architecture, art, furniture, and fashion); and recognizes the significant economic and aesthetic impact of Modernist design across North Carolina.
The Matsumoto Prize is the only juried architecture competition in North Carolina that focuses exclusively on Modernist houses, provides financial awards, involves a national jury plus public voting, and connects to a major architectural archive. The Prize meaningfully and powerfully engages the public with the architecture they love and showcases exceptional Modernist architects and designers in North Carolina.
For more information go here. Cheers!
A Round House from the Sixties | Thanks for our community members for sending us this fun little video. It truly captures the heart of those who live and breathe the nuances of a unique, mid-century home. Most people would assume that a dream home in the 1960s and a dream home today would be quite different. But, for Desiree Meyers and Julien Goldklang their dream home is a 1967 time capsule.
The 1,250 square foot Nolan House just happens to be round with a quirky zig zag roof! The designer of the house, Leon Meyer, produced many buildings, but only a handful of his round homes are still standing, and this may be the most well-preserved. Filled with vintage and mid-century furniture, the couple has gone the extra mile to make sure that the decor is spot-on 1967 authentic. Picking only the most iconic and well-made pieces (since they are furniture dealers) the home reads like a catalog of the best of the 60s. A veritable time capsule, the owners say the house “is kind of like stepping back into time.”
