I remember this house from when it was first profiled in the NY Times back in 2001 or 2002. I love how the roofline is designed to take in the views.

this place is amazing, but it kills me that in such a modern space he's got such a traditional dining table and those ridiculous office chairs. what is the deal with that?!
