Friday Eye Candy: Houses in Five Parts: Figure 1

For your Friday viewing pleasure, we give you a look at Twins: Houses in Five Parts, two vacation residences in upstate New York designed by Boston architect William O’Brien, Jr.

The houses share a common field where vegetables and wheat are grown (when there isn’t snow on the ground), and the floors and roof of both homes were built to react to topographical shifts which is why different sections are connected by ramps and stairs. The properties also have large windows along most of the walls, which makes for great views of the surrounding scenery, but high utility bills.
