More commonly known as the Mushroom House, the original inspiration for the design of this residence came from stalks of Queen Anne's Lace plucked by architect James H. Johnson and handed to clients Robert and Marguerite Antell with the announcement "this is your home."
The 5 pods that make up the home include 2 sleeping area pods, a kitchen/sitting room pod, a living/dining room pod, and an outdoor living space pod. The interiors are full of beautiful local artisan works such as tiles, creative ironwork, custom doors and cabinetry.
To borrow my favorite James Hubbell quote: "a house is a piece of sculpture that you can live in" the Mushroom House certainly qualifies.
