Mid-Century Modern in Miami still makes sense

I have a lot of catching up to do with past articles I still need to post. I found this link on www.organicarchitect.com about a mid-century modern house designed by Chuck Reed Jr. that still exists in Miami. ''It gives me a sense of time and place,'' says James String, 76, a land surveyor who, with his first wife Lydia, hired Reed to design the home. ``It belongs. I thought when it was built that my neighbors would see it and want to build more like it, but then the builders came with their stock plans and that was that. Maybe I'm not being modest to say it's a work of art. I am liking the bare cement walls. One of the options we'll be looking at even in light of the new wall systems available in hurricane zones.
