Aaron Green’s Cliffside Sanctuary:

The Anderson Residence Rancho Palos Verdes, California

Architect and historian Alan Hess explores the life and work of Aaron G. Green, a distinguished American architect and close collaborator of Frank Lloyd Wright. Among Green’s notable creations is the Anderson Residence, completed in 1959 in Rancho Palos Verdes, California. This home exemplifies modern organic architecture, reflecting Green’s innovative vision and deep connection to nature.

Perched on a scenic hillside, the Anderson Residence takes full advantage of panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean and surrounding landscape. The home’s clean geometric lines and seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces showcase Green’s thoughtful design approach. Expansive glass walls and large windows flood the interior with natural light, blurring the boundary between inside and out while highlighting the stunning vistas.

Locally sourced materials, including wood and stone, ground the house in its environment, enhancing its organic aesthetic. The open floor plan prioritizes functionality and flow, creating spaces that are both practical and beautifully designed.

This residence stands out not only for its aesthetic appeal but also for its historical and architectural significance. It illustrates how Green evolved Wright’s principles into his unique architectural style. Today, the Anderson Residence remains a testament to Green’s enduring legacy, inspiring admiration among mid-century modern design enthusiasts.
