| Sumario: | The article presents information on a metal house designed by architect Anthony Pellecchia in which he left natural surroundings untouched by the construction. Unlike many of his neighbors, who cut down trees to maximize their water views and create suburban lawns, Pellecchia has kept his piece of forest and also preserved natural rainwater runoff patterns by building on stilts. The steel frame raises the 1,400-square-foot house so the ground can slope largely untouched below it. With its 13-foot 4-inch bay window size and several other dimensions determined by standard lengths of building materials, the house embodies a completely modular piece of design and construction. |
