Who We Are
The 'Distinctive Homes of America®' team is comprised of Architect, Author, and Professional Architectural Photographer, Glenn Hettinger; our extremely talented creative artist and graphic designer, Diane Zwack, and one of the country's foremost personal historians, Judith Kolva.
How We Began
Architect Glenn Hettinger began his series of lavishly illustrated, tabletop books with his hometown book of Distinctive Homes Of America® - Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida in December 2011. This satisfied a big item on his bucket list to use his years of photographs in a coffee table book about beautiful homes.
The first Lake Geneva, WI book followed in 2013 and the Naples book was released in 2015. See the three tabs under BOOKS to discover more about each of these three books. Santa Barbara - Montecito, CA and/ or Beverly Hills, CA are in the preliminary stages.
How We Give Back
Distinctive Homes Of America® supports HOPE International wherever possible. Please see: www.HOPEInternational.org.
Award Winning
Distinctive Homes of America® has won multiple awards, including the Linda Mack Award' at the 2017 AIA-Jacksonville Awards Gala. In 2022 Glenn was awarded the AIA-Florida Photographer of the Year.
