Description
Merrick juxtaposed just three simple materials when he built his iconic piece of residential architecture. Yet what emerged transcended any individual construction tool. Merrick created a 17-level majestic wonder with spatial gymnastics, an extraordinary sense of materiality, and powerful structural tectonics. Both eccentric and outrageous, it is also truly contextual, a multitude of flying structural wooden columns nestling amidst the massive cedars. Embark on a virtual tour of this remarkable building.
