@McTag,
State is correct McTag. Do you know the name of the structure and the city where it can be found?

@Walter Hinteler,
Is that Calatrava's incomplete Chicago Spire, in Chicago?

On the supposition that I was correct with the Chicago Spire, I'll post a new one.

I reckon McT had that ... anyone guessing Illinois knows it's Chicago.

@ossobuco,
What is the significance of this house, did someone famous live in it?

@Dutchy,

Famous architect I s'pose. American or Scandinavian? I think American. I don't like those small side windows.

That tip was enough.
It's Villa Mairea, by Aalto, in Noormarkku, Finland

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villa_Mairea

But I would like osso to post another challenge for us. I don't have the time to follow the thread as I should, if I post a picture.

@fbaezer,
Bravo. And ok, I will. I don't have a store of ready photos, so it'll be a little while.

@ossobuco,
I forgot - here's a link to Witold Rybczynski's recent slide show and commentary on Aalto's lesser known work.
