R.M. Schindler House in California

Rudolph Schindler worked for Frank Lloyd Wright in the 1920's. A project in Los Angeles, CA lead to his opening his own practice there with the design of what is known as "The Schindler House", a live-work space for two couples. I like the simplicity and the integration of interior and exterior space. Concepts that very much apply to my project in Mexico. This exellent book documents the house, and I believe it is out of print. See links for more information on this house.

Exploring Washington wine country

There is nothing like a very good bottle of wine. A well crafted fine wine, and the culinary art of fine food are one of life's pleasures. Consumable design. Wine country in Walla Walla Washington, USA, has excellent wineries that produce world class wines.
