I love this house! The design, use of materials, scale etc. It works very well. I wish we could see more of the surrounding landscape since it is an “island” (probably vacation) house.

I think this house was in the movie, “What We Lost In The Fire” with Halle Berry?

You could not miss the house, it was fantastic and so is this one.

The form is boring, although I admire the author’s ability to combine the materials perfectly.

odris, with all the respect, you’re a jack-ass!

The plans remind me of FLW. I’m brought back to my visual communications I class at a time when I had a horrible professor that forced us to TRACE… FLW plans, because he’s so wonderful. It was torture.
