    I'll take some this week and post em up....we are just now moving furniture in where some pictures make some sense and scale is apparent. Thanks for the compliment. We started designing it 6 years ago and constructing it 21 months ago. It has a larger footprint outside than inside and is a really nice place to just relax and watch the wind blow and the river flow.

    I will look forward to seeing more pictures and details of your home. You should be quite proud.

    If I may ask, where is it?

    Actually, it's not Newport Beach. The 2nd and 3rd pictures are of two different houses, both located in La Jolla, CA. I went to both of them right after completion back when I lived in La Jolla. Very nice houses, somewhere you'd want to throw a party on a warm night with a bevy of hot women and your closest friends.

    The kitchen is nice, but I would have liked an island there.

    I would not call these modern / international style, but I have a soft spot for Eichlers in Northern California. Eichler's son taught a course at ColumbiaU (I was studying architecture there, wearing Corbu glasses, black turtleneck, and molesting post modern literary theory / choking on Derrida).
    I also lived in an Eichler in Palo Alto when I first moved to the Bay Area. Loved that slab heating !
    This new one has been freshly redone and we looked at the open house last weekend. Too bad the street is too busy..

    A great location for a great home! Was the home designed with passive-solar heating in mind? Some of the design elements seem to indicate that it was, but that may be coincidence.

    Does Newport Beach/Newport Coast have houses that high up on the cliffs?

    hey, that's my house! i grew up there. not really "modern" modern, but certainly for it's time, and different than anything around this area. a great house for sure, lots of fun with 2 brothers when you're 10 playing cops and robbers. i can hear my dad now yelling at us to quit running and playing in the halls. lol

    I'll be darn...I did not want to give away the present owners (your family) for privacy concerns. You were privilaged indeed to have such a great dad, and mom, who provided so well for the children they love....and it must have been a wonderland to grow up there.

    It was. Seems the cost of making that lift wasn't far off the price of all three floors taken seperately, so, it might even be a bit cost effective.

    The bottoom portion is all glass, no supports that I remember so that heavy looking top of concrete was holding over it via a large, long lever.

    I.M. Pei is another favorite of mine....Not to mention, yup, Brad Pitt, the actor...his homes are to die for IMO...he did it before I did, but for example his bathroom is entirely glass, but frosted out...Mine, in the making, is clear, but when you flip a switch they go completely solid, white. The interior sink is glass, with custom fawcets made to look like a tree, where roatating some of the branches turns on the water.

    My kitchen design is a floating piece of granit, hovered over by a large sun, like lamp, and clouds of cabinets, not to mention a few other items...will have to post that one.
    Some of Pei's designs...His bending bridge, was cool too.

    Nice pictures of I.M.'s projects. My wife worked for years in Paris on the Louvre project, and I worked on the Berlin project in New York. There are many interesting stories there.

    Now this has to be the coolest house I've seen! Reminds me of batman's private garage. :)

    My contractor just told me about this that he's fitting into part of his house for privacy. Is this some sort of film applied over the glass?

    Now that's a little obsession with the triple 4s with a queer looking car too.
