The Lloyd M. Joshel House, also known simply as the Joshel House, is a private residence in the Hilltop Neighborhood of Denver, Colorado. Built in 1951, it is known as one of the finest examples of the International Style in residential architecture in Denver. The property is a local City of Denver Landmark and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.〔 National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. (), Retrieved on 14 May 2013.〕 == International Style == The Joshel House is a distinctive example of the International Style. The International Style emphasizes the expression of volume rather than mass, balance rather than symmetry, and the absence of ornament. The philosophy underpinning the International Style also promotes, among other things, logical design to support building function and truth to materials. The International Style is rare in residential buildings in Denver, although contemporary commercial examples, including I.M Pei’s Mile High Center, are not uncommon. The International Style contrasts with Usonian and modern expressionist examples more common in the greater Denver area. The nomination form for inclusion in the National Register of Historic Places describes the architecture of the house: :The Joshel House embodies the distinctive characteristics of the International Style. The Joshel House is devoid of ornament, relying for visual interest, instead, on the materials and on the building’s volume which has been conceived as a cubist composition. The building, which is essentially a cube, is horizontally oriented with ribbon windows, horizontally linked clerestory windows and glass curtain walls. The exterior walls are eave-less. There is a flat roof.〔 National Park Service, U.S. Department of the Interior. (), Retrieved on 14 May 2013.〕 The house was designed by the husband and wife architecture team of Joseph and Louise Marlow, who designed numerous mid-20th Century structures, including the Far View Visitor's Center at Mesa Verde National Park. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lloyd M.
