A single-story house on a terraced lot in Trousdale Estates. The plan is low and horizontal. Walnut ceilings run out past the glass, and limestone walls carry from the courtyard straight into the living rooms.
Paint has a narrow job in a house like this. It sits beside walnut and stone and never competes. It holds a clean line where plaster meets steel window frames. And it has to read the same at dusk as it does at noon, because the glass puts every wall on show from both sides.
