One of architect Charles Haertling’s many fascinating contributions to the city of Boulder, Colorado, is currently on the market allowing a peek inside this interesting house. Known for their frequent mix of modernism and organic architecture, his designs are highly memorable and frequently reflect the influence of both Frank Lloyd Wright and Bruce Goff. The Johnson house appears to be similarly inspired.
Unlike many other houses by Haertling, the Johnson house appears to have survived virtually unchanged since its construction in 1976. The following real estate listing photographs do not do the house justice, but still convey the unique character of it. Let’s take a look!
Nice post! It is interesting to look at these places with fresh eyes. It definitely is of it’s time! The layout and the spaces seem like they would be very pleasant to live in. The shot from above really shows the place off well. What an interesting design! The diamond windows are great. I think the description of being somewhere between Wright and Goff is a good one. I wish they showed whether the carport roof is truly cantilevered, or whether it has some support on the other side. They get a lot of snow there, so there must be some support, but that second pic had me wondering. Quite a tour de force!
