| dc.description | View into the center of the house, depicting sunken area around fireplace; Experiences gained from incorporating found materials in the residential and recreational facilities that he designed for the armed forces in the Aleutian Islands, due to wartime shortages of conventional building materials, continued to shape his post-war work. In other designs of this period Goff exploited more regular geometries, but still with unique results that were partly dependent on his continued exploration of unlikely materials. Examples include the Ford house (1947-1950), Aurora, IL, whose intersecting partial domes are made of Quonset hut components supported on base walls of coal, and the Wilson house (1950-1953), Pensacola, FL, composed of pipe-framed interlocking cubes.
