On the subject of modernism, the Padre tipped me to Jones, Partners: Architecture (J,P:A) this week. A firm out of Southern California, their designs are fun, exhilarating, and very masculine, while still feeling warm. The residential designs in particular are appealing. I like their use of cargo containers in various configurations as modular housing; green and functional. There is an interesting interview at Slow Home with Wes Jones, the firm's founder, about their philosophy.
Be warned: the firm's website is flash, takes a while to load, and is rather unwieldy considering their nice designs.

No relation to Faye, eh?
No but it was weird. I was looking for additional images for the firm and googled Jones + architecture and got all these hits on the real Mistah Jones. It hadn't occurred to me that an old fave and this onew one carried the same last name.
