Sometime in the late 60s or early 70s, I remember looking at one of my mom's architectural/decorating magazines and seeing an absolutely amazing home that was basically a glass cylinder laid on its side nestled among a wooded lot that overlooked an open field or stream. The glass part of the cylinder was a series of curved skylights between structural rings that stretched from floor level to slightly a bit past overhead where they butted against a solid structure.
I don't know if it was House & Garden, or House Beautiful, or some other magazine, but numerous online word/image searches using any combination of tubular, glass, cylindrical, skylight, house, forest, stream, 60s, and 70s has come up with absolutely nothing. Since I can't narrow the time frame down to anything more concrete than prior to 1972 but later than 1968 maybe—and even that may be in question—even locating the original magazine at a library may an endeavor.
So I thought I'd throw it out into the blogosphere and see if this jogs anyone's memories (because I have such a huge readership) before I resign myself to spending a weekend at the library…
Try Googleing Earthship.
Thanks, but sigh…lots of interesting stuff but still not what I'm looking for. It may be that it's so old the images were never digitized or archived.
