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.
