"You had me at the front door...." Sprawling ranch architecturally designed by visionary Robert J Smith, one of the prominent American architects of the Mid-century Modern period. His designs uniquely combine influences of his contemporaries; Miles van der Rohe (glass window walls) Frank Loyd Wright (symbiotic relationship between indoors and outdoors) and Joseph Eichler (post and beam construction). His style is defined by his artistic composition of space and mass, his scale, his use of light, texture and color were uniquely American Modern. His real genius was the organic fusion of freely flowing interior space with the natural outdoors. He used expression in architecture the same way expression is used in art, music and literature. Excerpts taken from the book Robert J Smith Architect by Richard E & Connie F Grace. Lovingly maintained and updated by only its third owner since 1960, this Aboite treasure is more than four walls. One is certain to appreciate the lifestyle afforded by the open floor plan and outdoor living spaces. Original Blueprints available
