These are great to have all together like this.

The Mills "Lot 5" house is on the 2nd page 8th shot down
and on the 3rd page 12th shot down.
plan and elevations.

The Mills house with the wall of huge horizontal redwood timber separated by glass is the "Lot 5" house in this archive. They show up in the plan and are labeled "bridge timbers & glass" They are eight modules long. If RG is correct about the 24ft length then the house is bui...

Yeah, I love that detail.
It shows up in one of the elevation drawings linked here

I saw that color interior shot of the Shell House. Pretty cool.
I like the Farrah house too but have not seen an interior shot that makes it understandable.

Yeah, but not carefully and closely.
I've looked closely at a few detail sheets and the plan and section of Lot 6 Mills House.
-that's it.
They've got a lot more in the archives.
I hope they continue to digitize them and make them public.

... the working drawings by Mills are impeccably drawn.

I have no idea but I think you must be right.
At first, before I paid attention to the "lot" thing, I thought it was for the present Walker House site.

Several designs of houses in Carmel for Mark and his wife Barbara.
The Lot 6 house has a plan drawing and a separate section drawing.
It's a hexagonal plan with large section 6x20 columns at each vertice ...vertex?
Apex of roof is a steel "ring" framing hexagonal skylight.

The house attributed to Mark Mills here in Black Mountain is this same A-Frame and plan.

I saw that.
Wonder how the project finally got over to Wright?

Incredible
Pretty sure I've never seen this building before.

The submarine and the Moonchapel were for some organization called: "The Liturgical Arts" Have no idea what the submarine was for - but the Moonchapel was connected to a village that Isaac Asimov had something to do with. I dont really understand the Moonchapel. Seems like the zero gravity...

I saw that - which leads me to some kind of question about the building cycle?
Twenty years struck me as very short.
They rebuild every twenty years.
What do they do with the "old" version?
... 20 years is nothing

"the Japanese Cypress tree are chosen hundreds of years in advance ...."

Stumbled upon this today.
Some good drawings in this archive.
Seems also he designed a chapel for the moon.

This is great.
My copy arrived shrink wrapped in plastic last week just before I left for Annapolis.
Back now.
Looking forward to dialogue on Lyman.
