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.

How cool is Whisper Rock Ranch, a high-desert gem compound hidden near Pioneertown, CA? Star-gazing, unparalleled privacy, an amazing pool and midcentury modern decor (with Native American and Bohemian design elements!) make this property truly unique. House can be booked for a romantic getaway - or a readathon - just thought I’d share! ❤️ 📚 👀 . . .

☀️TWIN ORACLE MANSION☀️ I love when someone tells me if I could try a specific style or to build on a specific lot - it‘s a great source for inspiration and motivation. 🥰 For this one, the California mansion style was the key element, so I tried out a few new things with the industrial kit and with the glass roof details by the patios. 😇 Anyone else who‘s in love with building exteriors and dreads furnishing at the moment? 😄🙈 You can download the house from @thesimsresourcedotcom #sims4mansion #sims4build #simsbuilds #simsgame #sims4builder #tsrbuild #thesimsresource #tsrcreator #tsrfeaturedartist #tsrcontent #sims4tsr #sims4nocc #sims4newcrest #ts4 #sims4game #simmers #sims4architecture #californiaarchitecture #californiamansion #calabasasmansion #californiastyle #ts4getfamous #sims4getfamous https://www.instagram.com/p/CUXrazzDtqO/?utm_medium=tumblr

Miner Road House Faulkner Architects (Masterpiece Series)

Foreword by Rick Joy Introduction by Renee Chow and Thomas Chastain Project description by Greg Faulkner Photography by Joe Fletcher Edited by Oscar Riera Ojeda

Dense observation of the landscape, climate, culture, and existing uses and patterns of the site were worked out in conversation with the client’s mission to mitigate environmental challenges; Faulkner Archi-tects brings together site and home both phenomenologically in the design and technologically through sustainable features and practices.

Technically a remodel, the house utilized the footprint of the existing house as a basis for a new floor plan. An existing fireplace was wrapped in concrete to serve as a major structural element anchor-ing the new architecture. This avoided additional grading and left the hillside open and natural. It also placed the new home directly under the shade of the old oaks, in intimate relationship with the trees surrounding it.

This award-winning home is located on an eight acre, ex-urban property at the base of the Oakland Hills near San Francisco Bay. Formed of concrete and wrapped with Corten steel panels, the net zero energy res-idence is an elegant, low maintenance re-sponse to its context which is draped in rich green foliage and majestic native oak trees.

According to Histortian David S. Gebhard The Sea Ranch came to be “the California architectural monument of the 1960s.”  Since its inspection, Sea Ranch is noted for its distinctive architecture, which consists of simple timber-frame structures clad in wooden siding or shingles. (Ketcham, D. 6/11/2019. “Sea Ranch, California’s Modernist Utopia, Gets an Update” New York Times) Fast forward to today after multiple disastrous fires in the Northern California. Owners and architects like Mary Griffin observe, “Sea Ranch is changing, like our society. We simply can’t build the way we did even 20 years ago.” Lisa Dundee, architect and longtime director of the Sea Ranch Association’s Department of Design, Compliance and Environmental Management, notes, “With Northern California — well, actually all of California — burning up, we’ve really had to challenge ourselves to find alternatives to our traditions.” This building currently under construction is down the road from Sea Ranch Abalone Bay. It joins two other homes recently built using concrete in place of timber. These homes with their sustainable building practices now challenge the idealistic practices now more than a half century old. Or do they? Are these new homes a means of assuring Sea Ranch continues to live lightly on the land given climate change, sea levels rising, and other environmental emergencies that we must face today? What do you think?

☀️TWIN ORACLE MANSION☀️ This mansion was actually a request from a fellow simmer, inspired by the Calabasas Mansion I built a while back. 🥰 The family home is located on the largest lot in Newcrest, has a California inspired look and is empty on the inside so everyone can decorate it as they like it. ✨💚 You can download the house from @thesimsresourcedotcom #sims4mansion #sims4build #simsbuilds #simsgame #sims4builder #tsrbuild #thesimsresource #tsrcreator #tsrfeaturedartist #tsrcontent #sims4tsr #sims4nocc #sims4newcrest #ts4 #sims4game #simmers #sims4architecture #californiaarchitecture #californiamansion #calabasasmansion #californiastyle #ts4getfamous #sims4getfamous https://www.instagram.com/p/CUVPlABDDLt/?utm_medium=tumblr
