The design represents an innovative fusion of American Wrightian modern architecture and the more International style of the Bauhaus in which Gores was trained.

It is a single-story wood-frame structure with a flat roof and is 130 feet (40 m) long, set well back from the road on a 4-acre (1.6 ha) lot.

It has austere glass walls, with rough wood and stone elements separating them.

A central section has a raised 11-foot (3.4 m)) ceiling, and houses the main living and dining area.

When this house was built it was a somewhat striking departure from even the Bauhaus origins of his formal training, merging the more naturalistic styles of Wright into a modern design.
