Luminhaus

Luminhaus is a modern prefab house in Virginia, designed by Rocio Romero. It's about a four hour drive from DC and is available to rent. I spent a pleasant afternoon here in a Le Corbusier chaise lounge reading Tom Wolfe's From Bauhaus to Our House, which isn't as ridiculous as I expected it to be.

Here are some more shots of the house.
