A
guide to interesting homes and commercial buildings. |
This house is almost impossible to notice - let alone find. Perhaps this is
why the owners wished me luck on the project but did not want me to publish
any information about it or its picture. Well, the facade of a house seen from
a public street is up for grabs in my book. Anyhow this house is built into
the rocks and whoever the architect was did an excellent job integrating it
into the site. It looks as if great care was taken not to alter the landscape
or cut down any more trees than necessary. The light and mailbox have a Arts
and Crafts feel to them, yet the house appears to be a post and beam construction
and much more contemporary than this period referenced in the fixtures. Given
the surrounding buildings, which are somehow linked to this house by the ownership
of the land, I would guess this home was built in the 1970s - maybe even the
late 1960s. It is unfortunate that I could not get closer to get a better shot,
but the siting in the trees makes it almost impossible to get a good vantage
point. Lucky for the owners who so greatly value their privacy.
