Designed by it’s owners, noted architects Paul Aferiat and Peter Stamberg of Stamberg Aferiat + Associates, the house has been published extensively in the US and abroad, as well as having been featured on several television shows. The house is in two parts. One consists of a living/dining room, kitchen, master bedroom and bathroom. The other consists of 2 bedrooms, a convertible TV room and 2 bathrooms. For the architecturally inclined, the house design is a reexamination of Mies van der Rohe's 1929 Barcelona Pavilion from a 21st Century perspective.
