Hometta, a Web-based modern home plan company, is offering modestly sized, sustainable home designs from internationally recognized architecture studios, with the goal of making great design accessible and affordable to a large cross-section of prospective homeowners. Along with an initial offering of close to 30 modern home plans,\u00a0Hometta provides a complete array of educational resources that take the mystery out of building a new home.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-785 pk-lazyload\"  title=\"modhouse\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"modhouse\"  width=\"458\"  height=\"296\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 458px) 100vw, 458px\"  data-pk-src=\"http:\/\/arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/modhouse.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/modhouse.jpg 458w, https:\/\/www.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/in-house\/wp-content\/uploads\/modhouse-300x193.jpg 300w\" ><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Mark Johnson, a Houston-based green homebuilder, and his frequent collaborator Andrew McFarland, a Houston architect, founded Hometta to improve the way residential architecture\u00a0is designed and delivered today.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&#8220;Hometta is offering modern home plans from sought-after designers at affordable prices,&#8221; said Johnson. &#8220;We believe great design should not be limited to a small, elite market.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Unlike traditional stock plan companies, Hometta has partnered with award-winning, progressive architects to develop home plans that emphasize affordability, sustainability and style. Johnson and McFarland enlisted four &#8220;core&#8221; architects and designers, all known for highly innovative work, to establish the company&#8217;s vision. The core group &#8212; James Evans, Dawn Finle, Brett Zamore adn Blair Satterfield\u00a0&#8212; in turn recruited the 20 talented studios who are contributing designs at launch. Collectively, these first 24 studios represent 17 cities, 9 US states, and 4 countries (Chile, China, Germany, and the U.S.).<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">&#8220;Hometta is enabling us to reach a segment of homebuyers, those looking for smaller homes, who might never have considered real architecture to be an option,&#8221; says Wes Jones, principal of Los Angeles-based Jones, Partners: Architects. &#8220;As someone who believes that architecture&#8217;s responsibility to society begins with the dwelling, I&#8217;m very happy to be associated with this.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Images of home plans now available through Hometta can be viewed at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.hometta.com\/design\/houses\">www.hometta.com\/design\/houses<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\">Free of charge, visitors to Hometta.com may view all home plan design renderings and floor plans, as well as original editorial content: professionally produced audio slideshows and video podcasts and a professionally edited blog with exclusive content from Hometta contributing architects.<\/p>\n<p><!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"With this month&#8217;s launch of Hometta.com, homebuyers gain an unprecedented opportunity to build and enjoy intelligent, architect-designed homes.&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":5,"featured_media":1803,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[636,635,639,634,640,637,638],"class_list":["post-784","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-properties","tag-hometta","tag-homettacom","tag-how-to-design-a-modern-home","tag-modern-design-resources","tag-modern-home-design","tag-modern-home-planning","tag-planning-a-modern-home","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.3 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Modern-Design Assistance<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"With this month&#039;s launch of Hometta.com, homebuyers gain an unprecedented opportunity to build and enjoy intelligent, architect-designed homes.
