A pictorial journey through an incredible feat of construction.

Merrick juxtaposed just three simple materials when he built his iconic piece of residential architecture. Yet what emerged
transcended any individual construction tool. Merrick created a 17-level majestic wonder with spatial gymnastics, an
extraordinary sense of materiality, and powerful structural tectonics. Both eccentric and outrageous, it is also truly contextual, a multitude of flying structural wooden columns nestling amidst the massive cedars. Embark on a virtual tour of this remarkable building.

Tony Robins is an architect and writer living in Vancouver B.C., a recipient of the Canadian Prix de Rome and Western Living's 'Architect and Interior Designer of the Year in 2014. He is an Adjunct Professor at UBC's School of Architecture. Originally from California, Michael moved to Stockholm in 1989 after completing a Master of Architecture degree at the University of California Berkeley. After practicing architecture for over twelve years in San Francisco and Stockholm, he shifted directions, refocusing on the photography of architecture, interiors and works of art. He built a broad international photography practice with a focus on the Nordic countries. Michael provided all the photographs for the book Den Svenska Kakelugnen (Swedish Tiled Stoves from the Eighteenth Century), which in 2007 was nominated for the prestigious August Prize, Sweden's equivalent of the National Book Award. Michael exhibits his work and teaches internationally. His work can be seen at www.archp.com.
