As a residential architect specializing in the shingle style, I have decided to try and design an architecturally “A+” 2100 (amended to 2721 sqft) square foot house to make available to the masses for a low cost compared to my one off designs for full service fees. The style will be Neo-New England vernacular design; very simple and boxy to save money, analogous to a traditional cape or colonial, but putting a focus on architectural design and material quality rather than traditional fluff.

Now its looking like more of a veneer system.
In anycase the CMU houses I mentioned before in my neighborhood are now posted over at CORA:

Dave R convinced me that the 8" blocks were stupid... He didn't convince me that I was stupid. The cmu wall has now become a modular veneer.
I love those houses in your link. It just goes to show you how modern I aint!
Did you see the PA award from last year for the CMU patterns? It was in Architect mag.
Yes...wonderful abstract shade and shadows as I remember them.
OK... David, I made it 8" thick to create deep reveals on the windows. Now I am confused again!
Damn...
