Wallace Neff is known more for his classic California-style homes (as illustrated in this book), but late in his career he really took the modernist ball and ran with it, in the form of his Airform homes. They could be confused for Fuller’s geodesic designs, but not quite. Steve Roden, he of Airform Archives (among many other pursuits), lives in the last of Neff’s airform homes (originally built for Neff’s brother Andrew, and the only airform house that has not been razed). Recently he wrote a short article about the home for msn. Do read it. And if you’re not checking Airform Archives regularly, I don’t know what to do with you. I can only tell you so many times before I have to come over and click the mouse for you.
