In an article by Daniel Akst appearing in the October 2004 issue of This Old House Magazine the Modern Stock Plans prepared by Architect Gregory La Vardera were profiled along with others. The article titled "A Better Breed of Stock Plans" describes an emerging trend in catalog house plans which fall somewhere between custom design and supermarket house plans. La Vardera is quoted describing the poor state of design in the home plan industry. His Stealth House concept is also briefly described. The Stealth House is a home that is at once modern, yet designed to fit into existing traditional neighborhoods and new traditionally planned communities.
