Paul Rudolph studied with Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius, and the Bauhaus influence is visible in this minimalist design for a beach house on Sanibel Island. Innovative features include the incorporation of a tree growing through the first-story floor and louvered window-walls to open the house to natural waterside breezes.
