Another one to add to your list is Saarinen House. It was designed and built 
between 1928 and 1930 and has been restored to the mid-1930s. It was the 
home of Finnish-American architect Eliel Saarinen (who also designed it) and 
his wife Loja (also Finnish-American), a textile designer. Saarinen House is 
operated by Cranbrook Art Museum and is on the campus of Cranbrook 
Educational Community in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. Cranbrook encompasses a 
K-12 private school, an MFA program in art and architecture, a science 
institute, and the art museum. Most of Cranbrook's buildings were designed by 
Eliel Saarinen, who also formulated the MFA program (Cranbrook Academy of 
Art) and served as its first president and head of its architecture program.

Saarinen House is an exemplar of Saarinen's design philosophy, which 
emphasized unity among design elements; and his style, which grew out of 
Finnish tradition, the Arts and Crafts Movement, and Art Deco.
