In today's episode, we continue our walk through 20 Houses for 20 Year by taking a deep dive into the world of design with a discussion on two distinct yet timeless styles: Modern Mountain and Modern Farmhouse.

To start the conversation, we chat with Utah client Elizabeth Sayer, who shares her family's journey building dream home in Park City. From tackling snowy driveways to finding that perfect view of Deer Valley, we explore their modern mountain family oasis.

We also sit down with our talented designers, Ann Fritz and Karla Todd from the St. Louis office, to discuss how Modern Farmhouse style is ever-evolving. We discuss the Mentel home in Town & Country, MO and explore the different elements of this popular home design and how to make decisions that will keep a modern farmhouse fresh and timeless.

Whether you're a fan of the sleek lines of mountain homes or the cozy charm of the modern farmhouse, this episode is packed with inspiration and tips for home enthusiasts. So grab a cup of coffee, settle in, and enjoy the art of design!

We’re revisiting two groundbreaking projects that left a lasting impact not just on our company, but on the global home-building community.

First, we sit down with homeowners David and Thuy Smith to reflect on their decade of living in Active House USA, a cutting-edge, energy-efficient home completed in 2013. They share insights on how the home has performed over the years, the surprises they encountered when building, and how they came to be part of such an important project.

Then, we take a look back at Proud Green Home, a 2016 project in Wildwood, MO, designed to meet the highest standards of sustainable construction. Built with the highest standards for indoor air quality to ease allergy and asthma issues for the client's children, this home also served as a model for green building.

Both homes served as real-world learning labs for builders, architects, and students, pushing the boundaries of residential green building. That is why we chose to take a look back on them for this episode of our 20 Homes for 20 Years.

From the International Builders Show, the Hibbs Homes team gives a housing market update. From what’s happening with pricing to how the existing home inventory & land will impact building in 2025. 

In this episode of The Art of Custom, we’re diving into the world of midcentury modern architecture - a style that was far from the midwestern mold when these two award-winning homes were built.

We sit down with Barbara Bolk to discuss the vision behind her Wildwood, MO home and revisit an insightful conversation with Amy DeSart, who shares her experience designing and building a midcentury modern-inspired home in the Town and Country, MO.

From clean lines and unique floor plans to the vision it required to bring this architectural style to life in a region where it had become uncommon, these Hibbs Homeowners reveal what it took to create something truly timeless.
