Ojai "Green" House
This "green" house dies in ordinary light. The structure has a huge pitched in one plane roof that is one big solar collector and creates high ceilings inside. The red painted steel beams and posts are an intricate part of the visual aspect of the structure. It is state of the art and very modern but at the same time very difficult to capture what is special about since it is well hidden from light. So a night shot for drama but also to allow lighting to pick out those features that are integral both to its function and its architectural concept. The ribbing of the under roof, the steel beams, the covered outdoor living spaces all come into play.Peter D'Aprix Photographer
