if you cut out the middle 30 feet on the left and connect the remaing !20 fet connected to the facade facing you on the right, you've got the basic profile of the house I've tried to build.

I see my house as a close knock-off of the Martin desigh, but with other Wright features. I included Wright's use of narrower triplet casement windows, as seen in his Milw homes, and I moved the second floor planter to a raised patio platform at the first floor. I thought it added 'weight' and helped to ground the lower level.
