"Hey, how about that Hectic Art, huh? To build a new headquarters for the Xerox company, all he had to do was design a single room and let Xerox make 35 copies of it. Yeah. But hey, I wanna tell ya, my house in Palm Springs has been restored and it's really something to see. C'mon, I'll give ya a tour."

I like that the guy bought the house at "half price", which basically amounted to $25 million

It's got some cool things going on, but it's got some scale issues for a home.

Lautner also did the Jackie Treehorn house from the Big Lebowski.

I'm pretty sure I've mentioned this before but this temple, Beth Sholom:

was in the area around where I grew up, Elkins Park PA, and it's freaking beautiful. It's a conservative Jewish temple, which means I had to sit through a ton of long Bar and Bat Mitzvah ceremonies as a kid. I always liked the reform Jews better cause there ceremonies didn't last as long. Anyway, it was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and is really a marvel to behold.

It's pretty but not a good house. A good house stays dry inside with much less maintenance.
 
While vernacular influences are are often a good idea, they aren't necessarily the same as contextual responses or functional solutions.
