This house is a new one to replace the one burned down in a fire 3yrs ago(no, it's not mine). This is on my standard ride of about 16-20 miles(depending on how I feel) through the foothills above Santa Barbara, ca, beautiful ocean views, hardly any traffic, good climbs and turns(sharpens bike handling skills). That's the Pacific seen over the top of the books. The owner is an artist/sculptor, has around 6 premium view acres and is a very creative guy(obviously!). The roof/bookcovers are copper and the siding/pages are brass($$$)!
The spines of each book in the stacks all have different titles placed on them like the one seen in the pic. Probably be seeing this in some architectural magazines before too long.
