Raleigh’s Strickland-Ferris house , perched above Crabtree Creek, is featured in the January 2008 issue of Architectural Record . Designed by architect Frank Harmon , the 1,800 square foot "floating" house" sits on nine wood trusses sitting on concrete columns among a dense forest of trees.

The street side appears to be almost windowless, but the northern, forest facade is a wall of steel and glass giving the residents a feeling that they are floating among the trees.
