Photos by Iwan Baan.  Built by Bulgin; landscape design, Michael Boucher; interiors, Michael Lewis. Bobby Taubman's father, Alfred Taubman, purchased a house by Alden B. Dow, one of Frank Lloyd Wright's most prominent disciples. In 1977, Alfred Taubman commissioned Richard Meier to build him a house along the inland waterway in Palm Beach—a modernist residence at 958 North Lake Way that Taubman dubbed Camelot. The project, completed in 1979 with Stephen Lesser as project architect, would later become contentious when Taubman sued Meier and the builder, Robert Gottfried, over structural defects; the suit was settled mostly in Taubman's favor. Around the same time, Taubman also commissioned Meier to design a penthouse apartment at 834 Fifth Avenue in New York City, though this project was never built.  The Taubmans interviewed several prominent architects before deciding on Diller Scofidio and Renfro: Shigeru Ban, Peter Gluck, Tod Williams and Billie Tsien, and Thomas Phifer, whose design was chosent before being cancelled.  Brad Dunning was an advisor to the Taubmans. Julie Taubman died a few years after the house was completed. Paul Goldberger wrote a book about it.
