This house, originally intended for the fiat area of the La Canada district, was subject to an unavoidable circumstance which changed its location to a two-acre site which opens to views through canyons to the distant mountains. lt is now in Mandeville Canyon in a section which was once a botanical garden.
A very attractive feature is its tranquil location away from traffic and other noises. The house has been built isolated from the other neighbouring buildings in the area.
The plan includes an enclosed porch which is in reality a complete living area divides the working and living section from the sleeping, rest and quiet area. The latter consists of two small bedrooms and one large master bedroom, planned in such a way that parents and children are reasonably separated.
Each of the bedrooms includes a private entrance, while the 2 smaller bedrooms also have access to a shared garden. The en-suite in the bedroom has 2 toilets, a shower and bathtub.
The interior courtyard that divides the bedrooms has large sliding doors, and can be used as an extra living area or formal dining room. It includes a floor with terracotta tiles and hemp rugs. Beige furnishings decorate the curtains and carpets in the main bedroom. Children's bedrooms provide fantastic views of the valley below. The interior decor offers beige walls with dark green curtains in 1 bedroom and blue-green walls with coral curtains in the other.
In the living room the ceiling is gray-green, as are the draperies. The walls are of etchwood paneling washed with gray-green. The carpeting is the color of the tobacco plants on the slopes of the canyon.
Light grey-green aluminium vertical panels with protruding brown roof and large steel sash windows form the exterior look of the house. There are 2 air-heating systems for the living areas of the house and a separate one for the bedrooms. The house is set on reinforced concrete with wire mesh and a 4-inch gravel fill.
