Owner Dennis Reese andFelice Shulaner describe the house as "There's a feeling of Zen here, it's the next best thing to yoga class."
The house designed by E.J. Seibert FAIA was designed in 1962. Over time the house had become closed-off and somber.

Time is Running Out for Rudolph Riverview Buildings!
The deadline is approaching.....
The team of architects and developers determined to save the Paul Rudolph buildings at Riverview High School is running out of time. The deadline to present to the Sarasota County School Board a plan to preserve the Rudolphy buildings is March 15th.
To lose this landmark and piece of architectural history would be a shame. As a community where is the support to save these buildings?
We can only hope that March 15th brings good news for the committee and Paul Rudolph's Riverview buildings can be saved.
