This is the view of a newly constructed home (?) on State Street, right next to the Monte Vista Hotel
From the other side, you can see it's two buildings.
And it's possible more will be done on this side since there's still a pile of gravel over on the right.
Here's the next home down the hill from them, which is vacant and has been used as an event location many years back. It's for sale.

...they have used green metal roofing and gabion baskets to build the stone walls effectively. Modern touches.
ReplyDeleteI didn't know the name of those wire fences that hold a pile of stones together! Neat technique, much easier than making a solid wall, I imagine. The green metal roofing is used on the stairwell and balconies, which is probably a nice architectural touch, but I'd prefer if they had used something that blended more with the walls.
DeleteThat first house will be fine — until the knees get wonky. 😀
ReplyDeleteOh yes, I think both of those buildings will have habitable space on the second floors. My knees hurt just thinking about them!
DeleteRather unusual.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure an architect was involved, and maybe a landscape designer. Kind of neat if you don't know the surrounding town.
DeleteGood quote by Bill Maher.
