Metropolis - Jul/Aug 09 | Thicket - Sept/Oct 09 | Dwell - Oct 09
Too quiet here… on the blog. In real life, not so much. It’s been insanely busy at 1133 since our move-in last May. Rest assured, more content to come.
In the meantime, some late summer reading…
Auburn’s Rural Studio graces the cover of the July/August issue of Metropolis (take that Tavern on the Green!) with a feature by Suzanne LaBarre on the program eight years post-Sambo (that is, after the death of co-founder Samuel Mockbee in 2001). Be sure to pick up a hard copy to learn more about this important program… and to marvel at 1133 design-builders Will Brothers and Matthew Finley’s magnificent thesis project—the Newbern Firehouse—which gets a full spread (with photos by Timothy Hursley). Kudos Green Bottle gang!
And our own 1133 gets some ink in the September/October issue of Thicket as part of the “Homes We Love” section in the Home Idea Guide (with photos by Jason Wallis). Read all about it (and watch a little video starring Liane, Will & Matthew) after the jump.
[Update—September 15: See also the latest issue of Dwell (October 2009) for a story on Rural Studio's $20,000 House... thanks Messr. Lambert!]
Rural Studio’s $20,000 house made the last page of the October issue of dwell, as well.
You know, Roy, my mama was born and raised in Greensboro — I can remember visiting my grandparents when Mockbee’s program was just beginning.
Congrats on the coverage in Thicket. Your house is beautiful. We’rw hoping to come up for the Camera Obscura show at Bottletree, so expect a visit!
