says he doesn’t adhere strictly to any one particular
architectural style. Rather, the building site and the
needs of his clients shape each of the firm’s projects.
“We do a lot of research and analysis, looking into
the history of the site, its geology and geography,”
he says. “We also interview the end-users of the
building and develop the architecture from there.”
This project was no different. After carefully interviewing
his clients to determine their needs, Lindenau
set to work designing Edge House, a 10,000
square-foot abode that boasts nine bedrooms, a
wine room, a massage room, a heated pool and
caretaker’s quarters, among other comforts. The
home’s layout is divided into three distinct zones,
which are connected by floor-to-ceiling windows.
When the house is full of guests, all of the pods are
in use. When the homeowners are alone, though,
two of the pods can essentially be shut down, preventing
them from powering, cleaning and maintaining
a large empty residence.
