Whatever your interest, you’ll find something to love during the tour. Organizers have designed your tour experience around four pillars of the neighborhood:
Expansive walls of glass allow massive amounts of sunlight to filter in, removing the confines of enclosed space to reveal the natural environment and letting nature take an active role in the home.
The artists in mid-20th century America ruled an aesthetic realm exploding with optimism and confidence and celebrating the self-expression of a liberated world. They made their own rules defining their activities as evidence of truth and beauty.
The most important material for the interiors is sunlight. This openness requires furniture to play a new role. Seating, surfaces and storage must go beyond their originally intended function, serving to delineate living space and become part of the architecture.
Each house is uniquely oriented on its lot to maximize its privacy and landscape view, with sight lines intentionally chosen to enhance the common space shared by each structure. Native plant materials both define individual spaces and convey a feeling of joint community presence.
