Elrod House - John Lautner, Architect

John Lautner's Elrod House is a justifiably famous piece of architecture - one that I particularly like because it works WITH the site instead of just bulldozing a flat pad and building yet another McBox house. The history of the house and detailed pictures are worth a trip to the Elrod House website.  

What I particularly like is the use of the native rock in the area to make you feel like the house was just snuggled into the hillside with minimal changes. The master bath is my favorite from the photographs.

  1. I love those huge stone located at the center of the room! It's so majestic! I gotta suggest this concept to my residential home builders because it's just so lovely and artistic!
