I should clarify what I meant in a larger than the title field. Ok so this house is incredibly efficient in energy and space use and I really like the design of the interior. You would think then that it would also blend well with the landscape and not stick out like a sore thumb. However all you see from the outside is is a rectangular box that you only get to pick the color of. I just think the exterior lines are a bit harsh and out of place for something that is otherwise so well designed.

You need to pick a designer who believes, as you do, that Modernist buildings are sins against nature. I'm told that such designers do exist, although apparently they never get hired by MIT.

so all it needs is some rounded corners?
