I have driven by this wonderful house many, many times, and finally got a chance to go in on a recent LA/AIA tour!

Entenza Case Study House - Pacific Palisades mid-century modern residence

It is a fabulous house from the 1930’s Case Study Program, which was renovated in 1998, and open to the public for the first time in decades. It is only 850 SF and so compact, they only allowed 25 people to enter at once and it felt crowded! Every inch is planned and used well, and I loved the clean, crisp lines of modernism. Big windows brought nature inside and looking out from the roof deck, I tried to imagine how the house would have felt in the 1930’s when it was standing all alone on the Palisades bluffs.
