This timber-clad residence, emblematic of modernism, stands as a testament to Graffunder’s philosophy of blending architecture with nature, emphasizing spatial efficiency and the use of simple, natural materials. The house includes elements such as clerestory windows that maintain privacy while inviting natural light, and a circular staircase that showcases Graffunder’s innovative design, though it wouldn't meet current building codes. Levitt’s choice reflects a deep appreciation for architectural heritage.
