"Dunn’s photos are inviting and supremely confident, and Thompson’s choices are revealing and fascinatingFor anyone intrigued by architectural modernism (or for anyone purchasing a home who needs to steal some great ideas!)." - Kirkus Reviews

"Two years after releasing Marfa Modern, a book on the interiors of homes in Marfa, author Helen Thompson and photographer Casey Dunn are at again. This time, the Austin duo details modernism in Texas in Texas Made/Texas Modern. Using 19 projects from around the state, the book examines the relationship of the house to the site, the materials used and how structures function in the harsh climate." - Austin Home

"A gorgeous display of modernist architecture and interior design that's particularly Texan." - Shelf Awareness
