With its ample windows, juxtaposed with a sleek metallic exterior and bold contemporary form the LV House is a study in balancing nature (as in floods of natural light and views of the outdoors) and chic, industrial-design sensibility. Even though it's a relatively compact structure at only 1,150 square feet, the LV House has the elegance of a much larger building thanks to big sliding doors and windows installed high on the walls.
