I was working full time for an architect in 1989 and going to school full time. I had this one week sketch problem for a house.
The instructor said to solve
suburban malaise or something to that effect, we discussed the eyesore of R/V's and boats in the front driveway in one class session.
I was inspired by the image of an old mine shaft entry during the Gold Rush, and selected my own program of storing a sail boat in the middle of the house.

I think it has a few things in common with the Carraro House, but I don't recall seeing it before - then again it was many years ago.
