most builders were offering at the time.  His houses were joyfully 
expressive, particularly when it came to masonry and roof details.  His 
most adventurous designs played up the more exotic origins of the 
Craftsman aesthetic and at times paid homage to Japanese traditions.

designs were all interesting, even the most mundane of them.
