 Floor Plan

建筑师的客户说他想要这个地区最好的房子。房子是用50万英尺的透明垂直谷物道格拉斯杉木，地板，天花板，橱柜，门，筋膜和所有装饰。石膏墙和浇筑的混凝土，使用建筑师发明的贴面系统，是完成材料。北面的景色，但巨大的悬垂被用来捕捉南方的太阳，这反过来又照亮了建筑的内部空间。

The architect’s client stated that he wanted the finest house in the region.  The home is finished out using a half million board feet of clear vertical grain Douglas fir, floors, ceilings, cabinets, doors, fascia and all trim.  Plaster walls and poured in place concrete, using a veneer system invented by the architect, are the finish materials. Views were to north but large overhangs were used to capture the south sun, this in turn brightens up the interior spaces of the architecture.

道路被手工切割成斑马石。一个人开车穿过游泳池和下面的游泳池，然后到达入口停车场。体验由建筑师设计的整个房子的铅玻璃入口和铅艺术玻璃是真正令人惊奇的。

The roads are finished in hand cut Porphyry stone.  One drives through and below the swimming pool before reaching the entry parking. To experience the leaded glass entry and leaded art glass throughout the house designed by the architect is truly amazing.

该建筑仅采用模型设计，不使用二维图形.这让建筑师有时间研究每一个空间，并了解房子里每个房间的比例应该是多少。施工图是在缩放学习模型的所有空间后生成的。

The architecture was designed by model only, no 2-dimensional drawings were used.  This gave the architect time to study each space and learn what the scale should be for each room in the house.  Working drawings were created after scaling all spaces from the study model.
