Houses, award-winning Haiku Houses use pole-and-beam architecture and
are custom crafted from the finest woods.

these Japanese Country Houses, and they are by far the highest quality
custom-crafted wood houses available anywhere in the world.
Haiku
is a form of Japanese poetry. The word haiku means each poem
contains seventeen syllables frequently in the order of five syllables
then seven then five again. A predominant theme of haiku poetry is the
natural world and the relationship and interaction between nature and
humankind.
Haiku poets emphasize that form and function are one.
This philosophy was adopted by Frank Lloyd Wright as his credo; it was
the impulse behind his philosophy of design and architecture. The
architecture of the Greene brothers at the turn of the century was
heavily influenced by such architecture from Japan. In fact, Haiku
Houses have many of the features of the Ultimate Bungalows designed by
Greene and Greene.
The owners of a Haiku House understand that
they have bought the simple elegance and beauty that is unavailable in
any other architecture. They appreciate that while in some
instances they may have originally invested more for their Haiku House
than they may have for an ordinary "sticks and bricks" house,
the Haiku House is priceless in its inherent peace, tranquility and
harmony.
