Sculptured House

The Sleeper House is a house that was designed by the architect Charles Deaton in 1963 and completed in 1965, and then not inhabited. It was known from the movie The Sleeper by Woody Allen and his futuristic architecture.

After the house had been used as a film set, it fell into disrepair until the American millionaire Michael Dunahay bought it for an estimated 5 million dollars and had renovated. The interior has also been revamped, but it fits in with the style of the house of the sixties. The house consists of about a dozen rooms, five bathrooms, and has a total floor space of 700 square meters. Dunahay has embarrassed it with tiles from Italy and exotic woods from Africa and can lining. The main feature is, however, formed by the walls with one exception: they are arched.

The house is also known under the name of Spaceship House, Taco House, Eyelid House and Sculptured House. It is located in the U.S. state of Colorado, about 40 miles from Denver, at 2600 m altitude on the slope of Gennessee Mountains.

The building is registered as Deaton Sculptured House on the National Register of Historic Places.
