Most people are surprised, even shocked, to learn the Triangle area of North Carolina has the third largest concentration of Modernist houses in America, more than anywhere else except Los Angeles and Chicago. Who knew that little ol' Mayberry would be a center for great residential architecture?

Triangle Modernist Houses (TMH) is America's largest open digital archive for residential Modernist architecture. We are an educational resource with a heartfelt mission for the documentation, preservation, and promotion of Modernist houses.

TMH offers the design-loving public an exciting source for NC Modernist house tours, an extensive catalog of NC and national residential architecture, and a community of knowledgeable advocates for new Modernist construction and renovation.

North Carolina Gallery: Explore histories of hundreds of North Carolina Modernist houses and their architects.

View the Best of North Carolina -- all the AIA North Carolina award-winning houses since 1951.

Masters of Modern Gallery: Explore the residential work of Modernist masters such as Wright, Neutra, Kundig, Arahuete, Gehry, Gropius, Soriano, Breuer, Matsumoto, Schindler, Johnson, Rudolph, Saarinen, Koenig, Thorne, Harris, Gwathmey, Morgan, Meier, Lautner, and many more.

Shop for North Carolina Modernist houses for sale or rent in our exclusive list, because most MLS systems can't distinguish between Modernist and Contemporary.

Browse our Documents or Multimedia archives for extensive information on NC houses and architects.

Find out more about TMH and our ongoing mission of documentation, preservation, and promotion.
