The Rasmussen House was designed and built by Architect Robert R. (Bob) Rasmussen between 1964 and 1967.
Bob had the privilege of working as an apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright from late 1956 through 1957.
The influences of that time spent with Mr. Wright can be seen and felt throughout The Rasmussen House.

Frank Lloyd Wright believed that "No house should ever be on a hill or on anything. It should be of the hill. Belonging to it. Hill and house should live together each the happier for the other." The Rasmussen House was designed to take advantage of the topography of the lot.
Bob Rasmussen was proud of his Danish heritage and you can feel the Danish concept of "hygge", a sense of coziness and comfort, while sitting in front of this massive, custom designed fireplace that Bob built himself.
