You've collected the Mies Van der Rohe's and the Josef Hoffmans,
are passionate about design and cringe at the visual suggestion of a 'McMansion'.
And while you recognize the increasing
sophistication of contemporary design offerings and find the emerging identity
of local architecture to be encouraging, you're simultaneously leery of the
possibility of 'modern contemporary' styles of architecture taking over as
the new kitsch.
You crave innovative, daring design.
This modernist architectural icon; its glass,
concrete and sinuous curves having earned it international media plaudits,
certainly posits the occupant as a patron of architecture. Built 10 years ago,
the house remains a rarefied, avant-garde expression of modern living.
