These works are excellent examples of "Gesamtkunstwerk", i.e. Total Design as it was conceived by the German expressionists. The image of these houses may irritate the modernist mind-set of most contemporary architects, but it surely satisfies those who live in them. Your anthropomorphic references like the BIG EYE should actually raise questions in our minds about the "other" neglected dimensions of architectural forms.
