With as many bedrooms as garages, this house designed by the architect Anthony Ames in Connecticut is for sale for $4.8million (£3million). Designed in 1988, the house is distinctly postmodern. The windows take their inspiration from the Bauhaus-style glazed panes of the 1920s and 1930s International Style. The house turns these, however, upside down, as postmodern did, by distorting their inspirational styles in particular ways – in this case the panes are far too large. The house is defined also by its architectural era because of its merged bold primary forms. With 4,000 square feet of living space and three bedrooms, oak floors, plastered walls and custom cabinetry are featured throughout. Located in Roxbury at the end of a long curving drive, the house sits in ten acres of its own gently rolling meadow.
