The Sleeper House , also known as the Deaton Sculptured House , is a house designed by the architect Charles Deaton in 1963 and completed in 1965, but not inhabited afterwards. It became known through the film The Sleeper by Woody Allen and its futuristic-looking architecture.
After the house as a film set had served, it fell into disrepair until the American millionaire Michael Dunahay it for an estimated 5 million US dollars bought and had renovated. The interior has also been completely renewed, but fits in with the style of the house from the sixties . The house consists of about a dozen rooms, five of which are bathrooms, and has a total floor space of 700 square meters . Dunahay had it laid and clad with stone floors from Italy and precious woods from Africa . However, the main characteristic is formed by the walls: with one exception, these are arched.
The house is also known by the names Spaceship House , Taco House , Eyelid House, and Sculptured House . It is located in the US state of Colorado , about 40 km from Denver , at an altitude of 2,600 m on a slope of the Gennessee Mountains .
The building has been listed as a Deaton Sculptured House on the National Register of Historic Places since February 24, 2004 .
