He apparently had some designs for log homes, but Google images didn't have any, so here is a random shot of the interior of the Wilson House, somewhere in Calfornia.

Like with many modern architects, I'm underwhelmed with him. He cultivated a Frank Lloyd Wrightish design style that had enough unique gestures to distinguish it from "ordinary" modernism. His houses look and feel client and site specific, so at least in that regard, he acted professionally. For me, everything looks dated and repressed. I can imagine Kubrick shooting a scene from Clockwork Orange in these type of homes, and while things may not have been that extreme, the odor of decay can't be scrubbed out of the stained woodwork and harsh plaster. Maybe there was an original Pollock over the fireplace, but it was sold by the estate. Now, the house is just waiting for Brad Pitt to add it to his collection, and possibly, open it up to tours.
