Institute President’s home featured in this month‘s Better Homes and Gardens magazine

Pick up a copy of the September issue of Better Homes and Gardens magazine and you’ll find a feature on the home of The Institute’s President!  

A couple of years ago,  Waco and his wife Mila bought a 1950s modern home in Dallas. Built in 1957, the house was a Better Homes and Gardens "Idea Home of the Year."  

Mila is an architect and served as general contractor as they stripped the interior down to the studs and redid the house maintaining the basic floor plan and keeping true to the modern aesthetic, but incorporating "green" features like shredded denim insulation and tankless hot water heaters.  It’s a wonderful, liveable home. 

Note the photo of Waco and daughter Jette on the bike.  He takes her to Montessori school on the bike (generating smiles and waves from the carpool line) and then bikes the 15 or so miles on to our office.  Needless to say, the 1950s house is now in great shape and so is Waco.
