...because we don't live in the early 1900's and this is not Great Britain. What do you have against boxes?

Beautiful from the inside and yet the home is butt ugly from the outside. Whatever happened to designing homes in ornate edwardian style? Why all the boxiness?

And the article says construction costs "were kept under $500 per square foot, moderate for San Francisco."

Science gave us acrylics. Science also gave us UV filters for windows. Presumably the architect who built this house for himself knew about both innovations.

Interesting...acrylate-based polymers ("acrylics") are usually poor choices for a structure that will get a decent about of sun, since they tend to degrade in UV-light. What other questionable choices were made in the construction of this building?
