Louis Micheels House, Modern residence in Westport, United States
The Louis Micheels House featured geometric planes and cantilevered sections, with the master bedroom extending from a hillside supported by thin piers.
Architect Paul Rudolph constructed this 4,200-square-foot residential structure in 1972, incorporating principles from the Sarasota School of Architecture.
The residence represented a shift in Rudolph's design approach, focusing on the organization of planes to define spaces rather than enclosing volumes.
Every room in the house faced south toward Long Island Sound, with the layout separating private quarters on opposite ends of centralized public spaces.
The exterior walls incorporated arctic quartz gravel mixed with stucco, creating a textured surface that contrasted with the minimalist white interior spaces.
