Sculptured House, Colorado

aka "Sleeper House"*
Designed by architect Charles Deaton, Sculptured House began construction in 1963. The site was chosen because Deaton felt he could “stand and feel the great reaches of the Earth” from atop Genesee Mountain.
After the building was completed in 1966, the home was abandoned without a finished interior when Deaton could no longer fund the project. Although the architect had intended to work and live there with his family, the building remained unoccupied for over 30 years.
*Featured in Sleeper, a 1973 film written and directed by Woody Allen, set in 2173.

Good to see the house in the good hands of owners who enjoy and preserve it. So many other historic homes could use owners like them.

I remember the film, but not the house.
