Tician Papachristou architect/ Usonian style/ built 1966

This five-bedroom house was designed in a style inspired by the famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright. The floor plan is laid out in an arc instead of a straight line. Several of the rooms have a circular shape. The roof is flat and extends with overhanging eaves. The exterior walls are clad in narrow, vertical panels that accentuate the cylindrical shapes of the house.

Tician Papachristou moved to Boulder in the 1950s from NYC. He worked in the office of James Hunter and then left to start his own company. Besides designing residences and commercial buildings, he worked as a consultant for NCAR as the 'in-house' architect to oversee the design work of the Mesa Lab complex by the I.M.Pei architecture company. Papchristou designed several notable houses, including the Landmarked Sampson-Wood House at 1900 King Street.
