CA Boom II Day One


Our summary of the first day
Today was the big first day! We ran the whole house tour circuit which included Neutra's Troxell Residence as restored by SH_Arc, Kanner Architects' 511 House, Harwell Harris' Entenza House restored by Michael W. Folonis, AIA and Associates as the highlights. Individual write-ups and photo tours of these homes are coming soon... in the mean time, some pictures below for your perusal.

I haven't heard my name over a PA system since I almost missed a flight in Dallas... until today when the speakers panel Breaking Ground which we hosted was announced.

NEUTRA'S TROXELL HOUSE RESTORED BY SH_ARC. IT IS FOR SALE IF YOU ARE INTERESTED...



511 HOUSE BY KANNER ARCHITECTS


JOHN ENTENZA HOUSE BY HARWELL HARRIS


The next two homes were not at the top of our list for the tours, but did have some nice design elements as well. The 709 House was a steel building system clad with fiberglass panels by M designs. Unfortunately we had to sign a non-disclosure form... so I guess we can't actually tell you about it or show pictures from the interior, but we did take some pictures from the public sidewalk.

The last home of the day was a design build project by The Herndon Company aspparently as a spec home. A few nice features and some "interesting" choices... just not our thing.
