Definitely feels like a sci-fi type of house. Amazingly unreal.
I was fortunate enough to tour this house several years ago before the current owner bought it. AD does a great job in this video of capturing just how stunning it is in person. In the best way possible, the house is as uncompromising as it gets. Getting to experience it up close and personal was a privilege I'll never forget.
I love these houses that have a unique shape or concept. The "30 million modern Miami mansions" get boring quick, but these stand out. The modularity is very impressive
I really like how committed he is to his thoughts, ideas and metaphors on it.
The part that interested me the most was when he was on the balcony and said that he wanted a space “where people could express themselves emotionally but not feel like somebody else is challenging them.”
I was on a film crew when we shot a commercial at this property. There weren’t as many trees then. It was called “The Crankshaft house” when we were there. It was pretty cool, but also a bit “Cold”. We also learned that the house leaked like a sieve. But it’s only a 2 bedroom and the Kitchen was 60’ away.
"designed for no echo"- there's an echo "this is not a hallway"- i see a hallway "it's not a counter"- that is definitely a bathroom counter
Some aspects of this place feel more like a high-end office building, particularly the long corridors and enclosed walking bridge, but overall this is incredible, like something out of a '90s sci-fi movie. I love the thought of the main lounge's semicircular roof maintaining constant natural light as the sun moves, even if it does make it look like a turbine power generator.
It's brilliant how the translucent panels of the main gathering area are positioned to follow the path of the sun. The room will always be lit, but not overwhelmed with heat. And with no echo. Genius.
What a legend! Truly created a timeless design. Feels almost like a natural evolution of the space-mania era of the 50s and 60s but with substantial attention to use of space and interaction with nature! 👏🏻👏🏻
This is probably the most incredible residential structure I’ve ever seen. Every single aspect of it is amazing 👏🏼
Toured this on my channel years ago! Had one of the most indescribable feelings walking around that place
For dinner he’ll have a suggestion of a pizza. Not an actual pizza, just the suggestion of one.
The house needed a roller coaster passing indoor and out door of the house woooaah! 😅❤
Being a car loving gear head, I keep seeing it as a turbo and crank shaft! Very cool architecture!!!
The elderly gentleman recounting the tale of this house is unquestionably the most exceptional architect I've ever encountered. The synergy between him and this space is truly remarkable, leaving me utterly mesmerized by its beauty, originality, and uniqueness!
This is an exquisite piece of architecture. Love the use of natural light.
This brilliant architect should be proud of bringing a far-reaching clients’ dreams and imaginations into reality. Control over this project must have been phenomenally accurate. Thank you for sharing the dream and outcome.
Definitely need to see this house used more in films, such a beautiful and different aesthetic.
