| House of the Day: An Ultra-Modern Ohio Creation With an AIA Award Pedigree Dec 26th 2012, 19:00 Have a nomination for a jaw-dropping listing that would make a mighty fine House of the Day? Get thee to the tipline and send us your suggestions. We'd love to see what you've got. Location: Cleveland, Ohio Price: $1,250,000 The Skinny: Designed by Cleveland-based architect Robert Maschke, this sleek "urban villa," as it's billed, scored an American Institute of Architects award in 2008, the year it was built. Let's defer to the project description for the details: C-House "elicits a substantive and billboard-like quality to the architecture, an unexpected and iconic presence for commuters between Cleveland's downtown and western suburbs" and is "utilized to imbue the architecture with a sense of otherness from the landscape." Layman's terms? It's 4,000-square-foot home with three bedrooms and four baths; a design of stacked volumes (creating cantilevers and shadows on the verdant property); green features including passive cooling and daylighting; and brand-name interior trappings such as Kohler and Hansgrohe. "Nestled into the hillside" with views of Lake Erie, the place is listed for $1.25M. · 1287 W 54th St., Cleveland, Ohio [Yahoo] · C-House [Architizer] |
