Where's Federico Flying this Weekend?

Having been born as one of 48 in a flock (and serendipitously benefiting from small class sizes), I understand the importance of the individual in the context of the many, much like Gregory Ain, whose Avenel Cooperative Housing Project (ACH to the locals) combines the austerity of mass conformity with the profound intimacy of the anomaly.

This 10-unit National Registry Landmark was designed in 1947 specifically for a group of notable path-breaking political types, and its first inhabitants are still reflected in the structure’s radical openness and “potluck” unity of varying architectural styles: the vast windows of garden apartments, the vista of a hillside commune, and the spacial efficacy of suburban houses.

From the sliding glass walls to an early glimpse of the Open Concept movement, the ACH is a must-see for any discerning gentleperson searching for their very own modernist forest hut.
