Bruce Goff is a person in my mind who truly is a mix of a brilliant architect and Dr. Suss. The lavender Gryder house is a perfect example of this. One look at this home and you are teleported into a fantasy world. The home is built atop a reflecting koi pond and features bizarre cartoon like structures and shapes. My favorite part of the home is the spinning top like balconies. The balcony sits atop the pond and appears to be floating, removing all sense of understanding of structural support to the untrained eye. The residence is uniquely Goff; weird, abstract, and beautiful.
