A perfectly proportioned
and harmonious home
... in a custom made glove."

Published studies, according to Armon, demonstrate the affinity of humans for the shape of the pentagon. The figure is considered to be the purest form of proportion, expressing the harmony hidden in the world of matter.

"Pentagonal structures can be readily found with a bit of research," says Armon, "but here we have a personalized and unique crafting of natural geometry. It enfolds the specific program of the owners and in so doing will manifest a perfectly proportioned and harmonious home."

Such harmony and balance

 
becomes a haven, sustaining and enhancing the occupants rather than draining them. The design incorporates light, color, energy efficiency and relationship to landscape--all in geometric form.

From above, the home will resemble two large pentagons. One will be the living quarters; the other will include the four car garage and auto court. Three separate wings also will be pentagon-shaped. Even the home's height was generated by flipping the pentagon on edge.

The master bedroom, a home office, a library and a morning room also are pentagon shaped.
