When my parents were here in April, we toured a local building that was both a house and an architectual studio. It was plumb full of photo ops. Part of the house actually goes down into a small lake so that the windows open up right onto the water.
The architect filled his house with very cool things that he collected from everywhere.
He experimented with slopes of ceilings and doors. It is hard to tell but the far door actually has a top surface that matches the pitch of the ceiling.
I saw this shovel through the glass blocks and thought it made a cool picture.
The house is full of triangles. 
We were such a good tour group that we even got to go up on the roof (something that isn't usually on the tour). The roof was built and used as an outdoor patio. Old pictures of the family show lawn chairs and umbrellas up here.
More shots on the roof.

Neat! I toured the house in high school but haven't since.
I didn't know the house was open fort tours! Glad I know now...thanks!
looks like an interesting place ! Is it near your house ?
It's in our town. The architect studied under Frank Llyod Wright so you may notice some similarities.
