This is a home I’d expect to see in California — 1810 Bermuda St. by Ron Wommack FAIA and John Rice of Ron Wommack Architect: perfect;y sized 3,500-square-foot home (3500 is the new BIG HOME) takes the shape of a two-story box. Around two sides an engawa, a veranda of Japanese origin, anchors a linear garden and morphs into an enclosed porch on the upper level. This is the book collector’s home; the residence was designed to maximize wall space for exhibitions. Innovative building materials include cast-in-place board-form concrete, red-painted hardy plank and vertical corrugated metal.

this was the house that had me breathless…Ron Wommack’s proportions were perfect…and what a cool little hidden street! Want to see it in a few years when the vines are grown.
