ok, a very nice, very simple mid-century house. and it's in color.
years ago i saw a book of los angeles architectural photographs by julius shulman and they led me to believe that all good architectural photography should be in black and white. which is why i feel heretical in putting up color pictures. but, in my defense, it was a really nice day. the sun was shining and the sky was blue and the trees were all bright and green, so in some ways it seemed as if taking black and white pictures of a perfect spring day in l.a was also heretical.
so, i guess i'm opting for a lesser form of heresy. or i just like pretty pictures of sunny days because i'm, at my core, a deeply simple 7 year old.
in any case, pretty pictures of a perfect little mid century house. and, as is often the case, i know nothing about this house. it might be a case study house. it might be an iconic example of l.a mid century architecture. or it might just be a really awesome mid century house surrounded by trees on an unremarkable suburban street.
in any case, as i said, here are pretty pictures of a perfect little mid century house surrounded by trees under a perfect sky.

p.s-oh, i especially love the curving concrete wall with the little swoop cut out for the tree trunk.
