 The Searing House - Bruce Goff Architect: Pauls Story
Goff was a big guy with a big smile who listened more than he talked as I babbled on that the house should be like my childhood screened-in porch where size depended on how far you could see and you felt you were outdoors more than indoors.
Goff’s plan was a tribute to Wright’s Usonian concept: a concrete slab put the house directly on the ground, the siding was natural wood and the roof, with its enormous overhang for the carports, gave the house a ground-hugging low silhouette.
Goff told me when the house was completed that he had never had so much trouble over a design before and wondered if this “big little house on the prairie” was worth the fight.
