Description

Organic Architecture in Poway: For the La Chappelle family, architect Robert Thiele crafted an amazing home in adobe, wood and glass with strong connection to its surrounding landscape including an amazing granite boulder field. The deep scalloped eaves extends the roof into the 1-acre parcel at the end of a cul-de-sac. Arrival is a spectacular journey -- as you travel through organic forms of adobe, carved wood and stained glass by artist James Hubbell, you enter the home's circular living room anchored by a sculpted fireplace. Kitchen, bedrooms and baths radiate off the living area where you encounter built-in works by ceramist Rhoda Lopez. Come experience organic architecture in a splendid setting.
