A_Framed



don't these simple house-types remind you of summer holidays, the escape from the city & noise; the sense of freedom, simplicity &; sandy feet!


Love the black form of this one sitting in the landscape/

architect Andrew Geller turned the old idea of the A-frame house into a new fashion in 1955 when he built an A-frame house on the beach in Long Island, New York known as the Reese House/ named for the distinctive shape of its roofline, Geller's design won international attention when it was featured in The New York Times on May 5, 1957/

although many have been tried & re-shaped, LOVE!!! the return to a simple, contemporary kick on the A_Frame theme out of an investigation into the folding planes we find in the landscape/


this one by William O'Brien Jr. of Cambridge, Massachusetts/










Oh... to find a retreat like this in the CITY!!!!....
