One look at the rendering Swatt Miers showed me and I said, "that's the house I want!" said owner for the three story dwelling with its sculptural massing of rectilinear forms and astonishing architecture. Starchitect '' Robert Swatt in turn, translated that vision to reality. Add to this a formidable roster of talented interior designers, a battalion of artisans, contractors, engineers, consultants, and in consultation with Lutron Home Automation, created a smart home befitting this iconic Silicon Valley residence. Considering its mass, the house makes a relatively discrete impression from the quiet street, with much of the structure's bulk atop a knoll and concealed from view via a mahogany wood clad gate. Once encountered straight on, however, the scheme is a tour de force of architectural acrobatics, its breathtaking steel cantilevered overhangs and column free spans invoking a palpable sense of weightlessness. Inside, details were worshiped and "value engineering " not an option.
