    In the fall of 2008 the Austin HBA will present a Green Parade of Homes.  For the first time this showcase of homes will focus on not only the style of the home, but the substance of the homes as well.  Images Of... is proud to be the Architect of two of the homes as well as a member of the Parade committee.  The other home is available for preview here.  Unfortunately, due to economic concerns the Rough Hollow Parade of Homes was canceled.
