One can always see the influence of FLW on Jones’ work, yet it is always distinctly his own. Jones excelled at creating these very liveable contemporary structures that seemed to rise from the land they were built on.
Designed with utter consistency and uncommon finesse. (Greenhouse +++)

I’m not into MCM, but… really like the way this house was built on its lot – as if part of it, rather than being plopped on top of a site.
An absolute work of art and in such an original state. I wish it were being sold with protective covenants to prevent anyone from ruining it. Hopefully the right buyer will get it and understand what they have bought. Just a great find Kelly. Wouldn’t it be fun to furnish this place.
I’m always a fan of Jones, but not always a fan of MCM. I often find MCM houses to be an awkward collision of space and materials, but here, Jones has handled both masterfully as usual. It looks like after you’ve come in that amazing door, you go up just a few steps to the living room, which is on the second floor balcony. Overhead the roof folds and parts in interesting ways near the chimney. Immediately below this balcony is a space within a space, where an intimate fireside living room is tucked under that same balcony. Very complex layering of space and beautiful but simple use of materials with a few flourishes here and there. A masterpiece. Let’s pray it survives the future as it is.
You dont always get to see MCM relatively untouched but this is amazing!

Meh. I’m not really a Fay Jones fan. His work almost always seems to me to be too derivative of Wright; without much fresh to say beyond the odd gimmick. I almost never care for the types of “inorganic”, or unnatural seeming, brick he chose either.
would be interesting to know what’s going on with that (fountain?). That looks really intriguing.

For my personal taste it would be a cool place to visit, but I could never live there. It’s easy to see however, that MCM folks would go gaga over this house!

Is that just a sculpture or a water feature on the terrace? I really like this MCM.
Stone Mountain, GA
Amazing work of art! Glad so many original details are still intact. Sometimes MCM’s feel a bit sharp and linear but this one is really homey.
