In 1963, self-taught architect Charles Deaton found the perfect mountaintop location for a house he had designed. Genesee Mountain became the site of The Sculptured House, which is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Deaton said of the project, “On Genesee Mountain I found a high point of land where I could stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth. I wanted the shape of it to sing an unencumbered song.”
The 7500 square foot house figured prominently in Woody Allen's 1973 film
Sleeper. For that reason, it is often called the Sleeper house, as well as the Star Trek House, the Clamshell House, the Jetson House and the Flying Saucer House.

It certainly is a sculpture, and those views!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd want to live in such an unconventional house, but I wouldn't say no to those views!
DeleteI love to live in a place like that! Fantastically beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYou'd definitely be able to say it wasn't a "cookie cutter house."
