This one is sited on a hillside lot.
Wear utilizes concrete blocks, floor-to-ceiling glass, and redwood like his idol. During restoration, the integrity of the architect’s precise angles, graduated layers, corner windows, and built-ins were maintained. Even the geometric block fireplace in the living room surrounded by concrete, redwood ceilings, and cork floors still exists.
The kitchen still offers vintage swag, a small dining table, and a window garden for fresh herbs.
A fireplace and custom cabinetry fill the workspace.
The primary suite has a custom sleeping platform, a spacious vanity area, and a one-of-a-kind soaking tub.
