One of my neighbors just put his house on the market. It was custom designed for him by a renowned architect. It is supposedly designed to look like an encampment of tents in the desert. Luckily, you can't see this place from the road.

A view from the ninth fairway approaching the house. Yes, this place has its own nine-hole golf course.

I hope the "renowned" architect didn't put that one in his portfolio. (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/barf.gif)

Renowned? Renowed for his bad taste? They should paint it one colour, and hope they get a rich guy with astigmatism so he can't see the ugly lines.

The house was designed by Michael Graves. Not surprisingly, he doesn't show any pictures of it on his website. I had to dig a bit, but he does list it in a pdf file of his projects as the "Uffleman House".

I'm going to see this place tomorrow. Should we put in a bid and make it our clubhouse? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smile.gif)

Looks like a great place, just remove the home. I like the pool and golf course.

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) I'm not surprised... it does LOOK very Euro-disney...

I met graves on a visit to Princeton... great guy, but some of his stuff is kooky...

all good architects have some crazy stuff...

It is a sad commentary on our society that a person that is so obviously delusional can amass enough money to waste it on childish fantasy.
