.interiors.



.ARCHITECT: Howard J. Backen of Backen Gillam Architects.
.excerpt from Architectural Digest:
"From the water the house looks anything but earthbound; its three terraces appear to float. To create this effect, Backen drained the pond, setting the foundation back 18 inches from shore, then cantilevered the terraces out six feet into the water. “It was a feat of construction,” he allows."
.the home is 2,960 sqaure feet and resides in California's Napa Valley.
.in the second photo of the interior, the chairs are awesome, but I wonder?? Are they comfortable? Surely that was thought through.
.I wonder if it's buggy?.
