It seems amazing, but in about an hour, I designed a beautiful house: The design seemed to come almost by itself; it was leaping ahead of me, and going so naturally and so amazingly fast. My students would take weeks to make a thing like this, and I would normally take much much longer than I did. Yet it is just what I wanted to design.

And above all, it really is a beautiful house.
