The Moderna community surrounding The Miller House Museum is envisioned as an opportunity to allow Kentucky to lead in the development of a Green residential enclave. The 43 home sites will be developed as 'high-concept' environmentally sensitive houses. The Foundation for Advanced Architecture, which owns The Miller House, are selling each building lot in the Moderna Community. Each homeowner will be offered the choice of an individual architect from the distinguished collaborative to develop a highly designed residence that responds to their individual needs. The Foundation will select a 'green' construction management group to complete the building of each house.
The houses will be placed within 'building pockets' that are to be surrounded by a continuously planted forest. The size and height of each house will respond to a three-dimensional template that will ensure the proper scale and proportion of the overall neighborhood. Within this template the architect will be utterly free to create the most aesthetic and uplifting residence possible.
The range of size for each will be 3500 to 4000 square feet. All garage entrances will be positioned away from street-view and the general list of features will address the needs of an upscale owner. (Large living areas will copious daylight, master suite, 3 additional bedrooms with baths, below-level theater space and generous storage). The overall approach will be 'green, green, green' with beautiful daylight, rich sustainable materials and solar/geothermal energy design.

The list of distinguished architects is led by Scott L. Guyon, AIA who is a preeminent Kentucky architect. Mr. Guyon is the founder of the Foundation for Advanced Architecture and is a multiple award-winning architect with houses that have been published both in the U.S. and abroad. He is currently serving Governor Beshear's advisory committee for 'high performance' building guidelines for all buildings in Kentucky. Mr. Guyon is a LEED accredited professional.
The marketing and outreach of this leading-edge community will have national and international implications. Because of the pedigree of The Miller House that runs back to the legendary French architect Le Corbusier, the world will be extremely interested in this endeavor. This is truly a chance for Kentucky to lead in a highly significant cultural undertaking.
