The design of this Mid Century Modern house was heavily influenced by the Edith Farnsworth House of Ludwig Mies van der Rohe. Characteristics include a highly symmetrical layout around a sunken center courtyard. Boxlike linearity is maintained with floor to ceiling windows along with vertical and horizontal planes of contrasting materials.
