"In 1972 my wife and I purchased forty acres near Amery, Wisconsin, on which to build a vacation house. Every time I suggested a scheme, however, Mary complained that the views of the meadows, the bluffs, the pines or the Apple River would be blocked. The result was an all-glass cube. By day the views – and the sunrises and sunsets – are magnificent. At night, the house becomes a luminescent jewel." – Ralph Rapson
