On the outskirts of the northern Hessian municipality of Wolfhagen is the black house located. It is built in wooden frame construction and is about 16m length and 6m width.

James Trahan AIA’s Slope House located in Sunnyslope, Arizona started out as an unassuming 1964 cinder block ranch perched on a hillside at the top of Central Avenue in Phoenix, Arizona. The home was marketed for its “gazillion dollar views” when it caught James’ attention in 2002; this proved to be true each day at dawn.
