Architect:
Tadao Ando
Completion:
1998
Description:
Ando's first free-standing building in the United States is a introverted house in his signature concrete, steel, and glass style. Very little is visible of the house. A monolithic concrete wall with a large steel door faces the street, while garage doors and more concrete back the alley.
The two-story house is a long U-shape in plan, wrapping itself around a reflecting pool to create an oasis within the city.
