Ann Arbor ‘Glass House’ is source of envy

Ann Arbor architect Carl Luckenbach built a glass and deck-dominated house in 1985 with a view of the Arb. It's pretty spectacular and across the street is a house by Frank Lloyd Wright.

They are buckled together with black steel plates and black bolts, like exclamation points on the white. “I like the idea of being very straightforward about how the house is built,” Luckenbach said. Built-in bookcases climb one wall like steps. Two rows of clerestory windows wrap around the dramatic ceiling and let natural light pour in." Read the rest here.
