Like the Crawford home, the Blade Residence confuses boundaries between indoors and out. Pritzker Prize winning architect Thom Mayne wanted to transcend the concept of a traditional suburban home. The garden is an elliptical outdoor room that dominates the 4,800 square foot home. The house was built for Richard and Vicki Blades in Santa Barbara, California.
