First Things First, What is a Modernist Home?

If you’re a fan of modernist architecture, North Carolina is the place to be! Here, you’ll find the third-largest concentration of modern homes, an architectural style that began back in the 1920’s, but really took off post-WWII between the 1940’s and 1970’s.

Modernist homes are known for their flat or low-profile roofs, large glass walls, exposed structural elements, inside/outside feel, continuous spaces, and unique use of materials and finishes.
