that's the coolest garage door I've ever seen! I assume it is original, any idea on who made it, specs (kick-out I assume, looks heavy is it electric or manual), etc?
Aaron designed the door and I applied the moldings and glass over a 1\2 " redwood skinned single panel door. Yes... It was very heavy and the door shop that mounted the hardware and opener used the heaviest hardware available at that time.
Some more of my work... The house exterior is a mid 60's ranch but the interior remodeling is more on the modern side. I love the way the arbor and rear patio turned out.

that will make for an awkward block party... where is that house? I like it. Looks much better than the cookie-cutter house with the obnoxious sign next door.
Seattle. Worth: $3.7 million + Here's an excerpt from one user posting on the mike davidson site I found it on.
I'd certainly be pissed off about that wall. But you'd have to be a dumbass to pay $7mill. for that house. I don't care if it's on the water. Unless it's a hell of a lot bigger than it looks.
I congratulate him. Why should he differentiate his designs on HIS house for a current owner living next door? And the mere existence of those signs proves something entirely different as well. Egotistical is the guy worrying about his future views.

I don't disagree with you. People who go out of their way to post signs and such like this need to be questioned. I sure as hell wouldn't want to be his neighbor. Probably the kid that tattle-tailed on everyone at school. That house you posted, OMG! Stunning! I sort of like it. I think it would need to be seen to be truly appreciated.
Man I love these blocky cement/wood homes. Any idea if the cost of construction is any different? Seems like they'd be a lot more simple/cheaper to build, but I don't know the first thing about this stuff.. -R
Location: Guaynabo, Puerto Rico, USA Site Area: 3,930 sqm Design Duration: 6 months, 2005 Construction Duration: 18 months, 2006-2007 As part of the conceptual process three questions generated the initial thought: How can two houses reconcile the contextual duality of the site? How can two houses be equal yet assert their individuality at the same time? How can two houses correspond, talk, communicate and engage each other? The three questions were engaged by implementing spatial, volumetric, visual, material and textural interlocks. The houses look at the view of an old 60 feet high bamboo grove lining the creek 50 feet below and turn towards their courtyard. The double height space (living / dining areas) mediate the two. The exposed concrete structural skeleton provides the frame for the light filters: blue green translucent channel glass, aluminum louvers, powder coated grey perforated corrugated steel screen, fixed and operable blue green impact resistant glass and the weathering steel sliding gates. http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/888582385_05-exterior.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/1920783293_01-exterior.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/1662154400_06-exterior.jpg http://www.archdaily.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/08/237999662_16-interior.jpg Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is a perspective of a proposed garage and workshop, to be added to the modern "white" house shown some time ago in this thread (the house with the blue Dino). The one-storey structure is for four collector cars. The plans show large windows looking out into a pond and a hill beyond. Cars enter from the other side. The corner structure is the workshop with space for an additional car and a two-post lift, so six-car spaces all in all in a row. The workshop has a two-storey high ceiling with large windows to allow plenty of light for work. The balance of the building is to house separate parking for the normal cars and drivers' quarters, and a lounge above. The lounge, for entertaining car friends, is planned to have a stacker cabinet system for parts and bookshelves for automobile books. The look is again "old fashioned" modern (international style), in keeping with the rest of the property. Image Unavailable, Please Login
Here is the street-view and the ocean/bay side of a favorite of mine in Newport Beach, CA. It's pointing down the channel to the entrance of the harbor. And there's an Infinity Pool off the edge of the property as well. Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login Image Unavailable, Please Login
Frank Lloyd Wright's Affleck House, Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Sixty, yes, sixty years old. Was there for a tour on Sunday. Mr. Affleck was said to be a childhood friend of Wright, as well as a great admirer of Fallingwater. Wright incorporated a few elements from Fallingwater into this house.
