Hometta is looking for help – they’re putting together a list of modern custom builders. Do you know a builder who isn’t afraid of a flat roof? Who embraces the opportunity to build a sustainable, architectural, design-forward house? It seems that true modern-friendly builders are a bit of a rare breed. Have you had a house built, or partnered with a builder on a project, or just know someone who built a particularly beautiful modern house? Are you a modern builder yourself?
Submit nominations to Hometta via email.
If Hometta can pull this off the list will be an excellent resource for all modernists, architects and future modern homeowners.

The Noble Home has lived up to its name at this year’s Green Dot Awards, earning honorable mention in the products category. What’s special about this design company? Like many of the homes featured here at Small House Style, Noble Homes are small and eco-friendly, but they earn extra kudos in our books for combining the efficiency and cleanliness of prefab construction with the flexibility and site-responsiveness of custom design. As Noble Home founder and owner Noah Grunberg puts it, “We think of our process as highly intentional construction for environmentally aware homeowners…With Noble Home, you don’t just own the house, you own the creative process. Each kit provides a complete house shell so you can design and choose your own finishes. We work with you to place your house in the most effective location on your site – then you can do the construction work yourself, or hire a professional.”
