From the Agent: "Nestled in a grove of mature live oaks on a private site in the aptly named Woodland Hills, this well-preserved midcentury home is a fine example of the artistic experimentation so prevalent in the era. In a collaboration between the designer and homeowner, an aerospace engineer who acted as his own contractor, and perhaps inspired by Case Study House #20, The Bass House in Altadena by architects Buff, Straub & Hensman, the wood post-and-beam structure is visually expressed, the primary living areas are enlivened by plywood barrel vaults, and the boundary between inside and out is dissolved by floor-to-ceiling glass. The result is an exciting composition that is at once both formal and informal, a machine for living in the landscape."
Soaring trees hug the sloped lot, allowing the home to serve as a serene, private city oasis.
