The Alexander House, 1951, by architect John Lautner, FAIA. With several distinct iterations, drawings of the Alexander House at the Getty Research Library attests to a strong dialog between the client and architect for the residence served the family so well for the last 66 years without alteration! Located in Park Estates, a planned community affording large lots, and wide tree lined streets and custom built houses, and overseen by an architectural review committee. The Alexander House spreads wide and low across its exspansive site. Interior privacy and a sense discovery while approaching the entry is achieved by the long horizontal brick wall screening the façade. All public space opens to the intermediate zone patio defined by a wide cantilevered overhang, and visually connects the gardens beyond affording a classic California Indoor-Outdoor Lifestyle. Residence includes: 4 bedrooms, 3 baths, stepdown living room, dining room and den.
