The Spaceship House

Known as "The Spaceship House," "The Hovercraft House," "The Bug House," or sometimes "OMG WTF is that?"

This incredible house was designed and built by local architect Bart Prince in 1983. There are a series of translucent water tubes on the top level which are part of a passive solar heating system. There are two spiral stairs which serve the upper area and connect it to the living room and studio.

Here's a short video showing some more of his amazing designs www.youtube.com/watch?v=xFR8uy9XJiE

The house is still privately owned by Bart Prince as a home and studio.
