The Ledbetter house ( Japan House )

The Ledbetter house was designed by Bruce Goff in 1947 in Norman Oklahoma and is the reason I chose him as my architect for the blog assignment. The front of the house is a rounded glass layered with a section of stone that resembles that of a visor of a race skier with ice shards stuck to the glass after a sharp turn. It’s Goffs take on a tradition Japanese home mixed with his unorthodox Goff stye. One of my favorite details reading about the house was the  glass ashtrays inserted in the front door.  Very 1940’s. Very Cool.
