When you think of luxury homes, you might picture something along the lines of an energy-hogging, three-story mega mansion, decked out with a fancy facade and lavishly landscaped lawn. But Maziar Behrooz, founder of of MB Architecture, turned that idea on its head with his design of this beautiful arced home in East Hampton, New York.
