Looks like the plumbing showroom near my house. It’s a house in the desert where it can get really hot, yet there is no eaves to keep the sun out. All that whiteness and beautiful fixtures and furniture, people don’t thrive in greenhouses.

Where else would Mr. “Ellsworth” live?

Actually, the single most interesting thing about the design is it use of Craig Ellwood’s concept of structure as bridge span across the site. This is particularly successful here.

This is a great design. Very tasteful furniture choices and nice usage of white/glass.
