At first I was a little confused by Zigloo. I couldn’t quite figure out what the site was up to. Now I’m pretty sure that it’s a real architect site, headed up by Keith Dewey.

I’m posting it now because I noticed, or rather Cardillo, pointed it out to me that it’s now posted at WAN. The WAN post has location and typed up all the text regarding this cool house.
