In an earlier post, I'd mentioned the fact that lines and planes are, in fact, infinite. A trick of the eye that Wright used to great advantage with the trellises on the end of his flat roofs to lengthen visually the horizontal.
Another trick that we have used is to bevil the ends of the hardie board siding where they meet at the corners of the house so that each board seems to go off to the end of the world. If you look at other houses, there can be a cap piece of molding at every corner. This "stops" the line visually.
This requires great skill in the cutting of each board and fitting them together. And Brian is doing a wonderful job with this.
