Frank Gehry Winton House Early Residential Home


 Frank Gehry did not do a lot of residential homes, maybe ten or twelve as best as we can figure. Obviously his first real home was, his Santa Monica residence, which has an enduring deconstructionist appeal that will more than likely stand the test of time. However, his first sort of modern Frank Gehry established architect home was Penny and Mike Winton house on Lake Minnetonka, built as a guest house in 1982. It's very much a Gehry home, you can tell right off the bat, jumble of shapes and volumes, textures and materials. Figured to include it here as an inspirational bookmark of sorts. If you're not familiar with the work, you should definitely google it.
