The angular construction and glazed panels add to the boat-like vibe. They look like vessels perched above the canyon, open to view and light.
This is one of architect Harry Gesner's Iconic Boat Houses. He built 12 originally and only 10 remain.

I was in a rush after some recent IT outtages made a mess of my plans, and ended up entering my code wrong and locking myself out. Thankfully the system owner was immediately available for me to resolve my mistake and save my vacation! Dedicated and reliable, as well as an amazing home
