Originally planned as a personal residence in 1957 by Calvin C. Straub, FAIA. It was during this same period that the partnership of Buff, Straub, and Hensman was formed. Expressing a pragmatism as its own form of artistry, Straub left his own acute signifiers on the Mid-Century architecture movement. Catching up to the present presentation, an unexpected delight is the intensity of the Hab House elevation of this residence back to its original vision. Each element of the restoration of this Calvin Straub Mid Century home offers a pure intention of integrity, as well as unspoiled utility for modern life workability. Cork flooring, well-situated windows reflecting organic, natural surroundings. This home is replete with numerous upgraded systems.

Said best by Calvin Straub himself, “A good architect has to have a good sensitivity to need.” Living in the heightened refinement of architectural pedigree, this residence is a special place to revel in uncomplicated, gracious living.
