Curved House
http://www.hufft.com

The Curved House is a modern residence with distinctive lines. Conceived in plan as a U-shaped form, this residence features a courtyard that allows for a private retreat to an outdoor pool and a custom fire pit. The master wing flanks one side of this central space while the living spaces, a pool cabana, and a view to an adjacent creek form the remainder of the perimeter.

A signature masonry wall gently curves in two places signifying both the primary entrance and the western wall of the pool cabana. An eclectic and vibrant material palette of brick, Spanish roof tile, Ipe, Western Red Cedar, and various interior finish tiles add to the dramatic expanse of the residence. The client’s interest in suitability is manifested in numerous locations, which include a photovoltaic array on the cabana roof, a geothermal system, radiant floor heating, and a design which provides natural daylighting and views in every room.

What Houzz contributors are saying:
added by Annie Thornton to Houzz Tour: Breathtaking Prairie Retreat
A natural berm planted with sumac trees lines the approach to the house. As the trees mature, they will create a solid screen along the entry road, making the home visible only through Galloway's aperture installation.
added by Becky Harris to Great Design Plant: Honey Locust Tree
Distinguishing traits. While honey locusts are known for their wicked thorns, this thornless cultivar is much more user friendly. Honey locusts are best known for their beautiful dappled light. They have deeply furrowed, dark gray or blackish bark. They are fast growing and have straight single trunks, and their silhouettes are oval and quite full. Note: Honey locusts also have seed pods, which drop. Some people consider them messy.
Abstract art can also serve to influence one's perspective on a house, such as the rectangular wooden frame that fronts this house. It frames one's view of the house on approach, paralleling the frame of a car windshield.
