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.

Carlo, I totally agree with you.
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.

I suspect Oddris is having fun provoking all this reaction…

Odris please disappear. Your single word comments and photograph is irritating everyone.

i suspect that the rather insignificant comments from odris are there just to attract people to his own website or blog, (or whatever that is.)

hmm, who knows

I like it when I see the good use of wood on modern projects. I am not an architect, but I think that adding wood to a contemporary project requires a very good sense of what can or cannot work for the harmony of the project. And I think this house got it. Loved the bedroom.
