The Don Metz house

Don Metz is an architect best know for his earth-integrated house that was built in the 1970s to take advantage of the earth as insulation. The Don Metz house was featured as an illustration in the book "Xanadu: The Computerized Home of Tomorrow and How It Can Be Yours Today!" describing its similarities to the Xanadu House. The 1970s in its most obvious sense refers to the decade between 1970 and 1979. ... This article needs to be cleaned up to conform to a higher standard of quality. ...

Metz's detractors see a dilettante and an architectural innovator who lost his nerve, but these critics mistake a restless spirit for a wreckless or fickle one.
Given the hundreds of buildings Metz has created, and the fact that many are in the Upper Valley, if you see a house in the area that looks as if it was designed by someone with some sensitivity to proportion and beauty, there is a good chance it is the work of this architect-novelist.
Freedom Party International - Consent 27 - May 1997 (2941 words)
Metz: Now that's certainly something that bothered me. For me personally, this is still an unresolved issue which I'd like to get to the bottom of, in terms of understanding the differences between APEC and Reform.
Metz: I think we'd agree that the strength of the Reform Party is definitely on the economic scale, and that the personal is left on the back burner where it may burn right up and never become part of Reform policy.
Metz: I don't think Manning meant that Reform would not do anything about it, ever; I think he meant that Reform was not planning to address constitutional issues during this six-week period of an election.
