Architectural Style : 'Pod' Design
built in 1971
Architect ; James H.Johnson
Home made up of five interconnected pods, situated on a hill.
Design to blend ART and NATURE
Building five pods to sit on concrete and steel “stems” was no easy feat. According to documents from Periton’s landmark association, the builders made several failed attempts before constructing pods into two parts — a bottom to sit on the stems and a top. Both sections were made of concrete and polyurethane.
The pods are 30 feet in diameter and weigh 80 tons. Two pods are sleeping areas, the center pod contains the kitchen and sitting room and a fourth pod is a living and dining area with a fireplace. The fifth smaller pod serves as the deck. All together, the home has 4,168 square feet of living space.
While the home is unusual, what makes it more like a piece of art are contributions by several artists, including 9,000 ceramic tiles that cover the inside of the home, which were all hand-fired by previous owner Marguerite Antell.
“It’s like you’re living in art,” explains listing agent Rich Testa. “In both daylight and evening it [the home] takes on different feelings. It really is a unique house.”
