Mark,

I assume you are a registered architect? From one architect to another I give it an A+++, and hope to see it in Record Houses.

That house is simply stunning. Although I am used to a different style, I would change my style to live in a house like that!

[Neal Clayton]

Also not my style, but another incredible house. I can see some definite similarities in some of the materials in your house and this house.

And that dining room table and chairs looks familiar

not my style either but i can appreciate preference for modern styles if done tastefully.

now the people who try to remodel centuries old victorian/craftsman/tudor/gotchic/etc homes into art deco/modern with chrome plating, pink paint, and mirrors on the other hand i could strangle.

[Alan Greene]

Mark, you have made a beautiful home and furnishings that will give the Kim's' pleasure for a long time. Great work.

[Jeffrey Makiel]

It's definitely my style. When can I have one?

I know this is a VERY old thread but I just saw it for the first time and had to comment. The house is stunning and the details are perfect. This is a house that both my wife and I could live in forever, we both love this style. She would fill it with mid-century modern furniture and we would be happy campers. Did I say it was stunning? My wife is out of town currently and although I could send her the link I want to wait until she gets home just to see her expressions as she looks at the pictures. Bravo!

PS I don't know if it was mentioned earlier in the thread but I see it won a First Award "Honor Award" in 2007 from the AIA, kudos!

Its amazing. I would love to turn my 2 year old and 5 year old girls loose in it for about 3 hours!

I look at that house and think how echo is in there is,
so many bright surfaces to reflect sound...

I am sure it has some spectacular views!

I have built/lived in a couple of houses with a lot of parallel hard surfaces and the RT60 (sound term for the time it takes reverberation to decay 60dB) was huge when the house was completed but it is amazing what just a few pieces of furniture, some art/pictures on the walls and a rug or two does to reduce this. In other words it might be scary if you toured the home empty (like they showed houses in the "old" days) but with even a sparse population of furniture and the things associated with life it damps down quite well. If one is an audiophile you do have to approach rooms in houses like this with a certain amount of care but for normal daily life the echo diminishes to a point it is not normally noticeable once it is set up for living.
