whoa. is that place balanced on a pylon? crazy!!
wow. definitely a candidate for house of the year…

Catholic U architecture prof’s house. I reckon it’s for sale, in the millions…was there during a spring storm, windows not so watertight.

Travis always did wish he could live in the Finnish Embassy.
