Jan 2nd, 2017: The Hilltop House

[xoxoxoBruce]

The name led me to believe it would be on top of at least a minor mountain.

The Hilltop House, one of the Morgan’s greatest designs, epitomizes his intention to build with the earth, not on it, the essential
attribute of his earth architecture. The site is a hill located in central Florida, 2000 feet in diameter, rising 70 feet, the top of
which the clients chose as their favorite picnic spot before the house was built.

When first seen from a great distance, the house strikes one as being at once natural and artificial, archaic and modern.
Inspired by prehistoric earth architecture, this house provides its occupants both modern spatial freedoms and an intensely
spiritual connection to earth.

I like it, but would prefer it on a bigger hill.

I had the IOTD for the 1st and 2nd prepared ahead of time because my party didn't beak up until 10:30 AM and resumed at 6 PM.
Burned a lot of incense in my 3-foot burner and everyone was impressed.
