Harmon’s Floating House Featured in Architectural Record
Raleigh’s Strickland-Ferris house, perched above Crabtree Creek, is featured in the January 2008 issue of Architectural Record. Designed by architect Frank Harmon, the 1,800 square foot "floating" house" sits on nine wood trusses sitting on concrete columns among a dense forest of trees.
The street side appears to be almost windowless, but the northern, forest facade is a wall of steel and glass giving the residents a feeling that they are floating among the trees.
