Architect Charles W. Moore conceived his Westwood home as "a giant stairway that cascaded through three levels like a waterfall… animated by places to be and put things in." The dramatic 3-story central volume visually dominates, while tributary areas provide functionality. Unconventional spaces, materials and ornament surprise at every turn, culminating in a living room overlook, a grand proscenium arch and a great, sheer wall of books. Moore was out in front of "Post Modernism," creating environments rich in originality, whimsy and historical references: Beverly Hills Civic Center, California's north coast Sea Ranch, and Piazza d'Italia in New Orleans. The 1991 AIA Gold Medal recipient was hailed by NY Times critic Paul Goldberger as "our age's greatest architectural enthusiast." Master BR + Den/Bunk Room + Office. 1 3/4 Baths. In original condition. Especially suitable for the architecturally adventurous single or couple.
