Belitsos House (7 1/2 House)


A house for a Magician. On the magic form of the golden rectangle, nothing is safe. Relentless reformation of the "normal house" was never the aim, it just happened that way.

So it is three rooms. A Library, A Spa and An Observatory. The bed on the second floor rolls out on tracks into a screened deck. From the tub under the stairs, look through the fireplace, through the Library, through the windows out onto Lake Michigan (look through the fire to see the water, while you sit in the hot tub). The steam room is glass mosaic tile. Light Emitting Diodes shine through the glass tile, through the steam.
