Architects Richard Fernau and Laura Hartman designed the Mann House for a family of three; the husband was a writer, the wife, an artist, who both worked in the home. Their residence was located to enable views of the surrounding countryside from every angle. The Fernau and Hartman web site said of the Mann House in 2010: "The main house is a series of interconnecting spaces each borrowing from the other, allowing it to be relatively modest, yet retain privacy. For the work-at-home couple—he is a writer, she is an artist—this is important.To the L-shaped plan of the house, we added an outbuilding to define the courtyard space. This building, which splits in to become a studio and guest-room, makes a second L-shaped piece. The two interlocking “L’s” creates a series of varied outdoor areas that crop and edit adjacent views." (See Fernau and Hartman Projects,Accessed 08/04/2010.)
