This home, designed by David Henken, a close associate of Frank Lloyd Wright, follows in Wright's tradition of organic aesthetic for mid-century modern architecture. Henken collaborated w/Wright on the Usonia project in Pleasantville. Environmentally friendly, the angled roof lines are low & sweeping w/solar orientation to capture warmth in the winter & to lock it out in the summer; simple yet elegant open floor plans w/walls of windows that integrate w/the outside & deep eaves to provide a reassuring sense of shelter w/carport instead of garage. The house echoes the natural surrounding terrain w/rustic materials that minimize a sense of separation. Extensive use of cypress, fluted glass skylights, glass corner-on-corner windows & exposed brick walls lend to the unique ambiance of this home. Updated w/a detailed eye toward preservation, the house has been artfully extended & modernized while maintaining the initial integrity. A self-cleaning 39' in-ground pool is a wonderful addition!
