Hoffmann Homes wins Housing and Communities Award from the DFW Urban Land Institute for Abode @ White Rock.

Abode @ White Rock consists of eight single family homes arranged around a shared pedestrian-oriented mews and a central pocket park. The project required only plat approval and proceeded without entitlement negotiations, zoning changes, or public hearings. By embracing the City’s shared access provisions, the development aligned with neighborhood scale and character while expanding high quality housing supply.

Resilience was the organizing principle throughout the project, from site planning and building orientation to construction systems, water infrastructure, energy performance, and social design. Each home is constructed using Insulated Concrete Form wall systems and includes a combined safe room and pantry. Homes are designed to Department of Energy Net Zero Ready standards, are ENERGY STAR certified, and prioritize indoor air quality, water efficiency, and long-term habitability.
