Best Contemporary House
watababy's discussion got me thinking - what's your favorite contempory house (ie - from the last 15ish years)?
Frank Israel's Dragger House
Meier's Doublas House (and Rochoski? House)
Lautner (the one with the angles, although there are a bunch)
Carlo Zapata's Florida House
Guess Lautner's is out, but the other's are great.
