Absolutely stunning. The key is something he said at the end - discipline.

It’s wonderful.

It’s lovely. And some of my favorite features: courtyard entry, glass hallway, lots of natural material, and the discipline and restraint.

I agree, it's wonderful. The exterior- house interactions - that pool next to the hallway and the borrowed vistas, as the architect explained, are jawdropping. I even found the pool view, as those bedroom curtains opened, which normally does little for me, to be beyond beautiful.

I really enjoyed this - thanks.

So lovely! I was worried when they started the tour that the interiors would be dark, because the entry and den seemed quite dark to me. But all of the other spaces were bright, and those views!!😍 Stunning

Really lovely. love the solar shade on the kitchen skylight, the glass and views, the sense of simplicity and calm.

Beautiful house.

I wish there were still pictures instead of a slow video, like I didn't need to focus on a chair or the innards of a piano. Guess I am just too antsy for videos.

I don't like MCM, I don't like MCM, I don't... but this is beautiful.

It looks like such a pleasant space to live in!

I like the house in general, but I really dislike the teak paneling - I could never live with walls that color - I find it nauseating and depressing. The furniture is also unimpressive, and overall, I hate the color scheme - way too much brown, which is my least favorite color, and the browns used in this house have too much yellow in them, which is what I find nauseating. I like teak in small doses, but never on walls or cabinets. I would prefer bleached maple or ash.

The architecture of the house is nice, however, and that is what I like most. The outdoor space is fantastic, as are the views.

Thank you, Fun!

Yes, teak is a step up from grainy plywood, but I've not really noticed plywood in MCM houses. There is also furniture grade plywood, which could have maple or ash as its finished side, and I think that would be better than teak.

I do have quite a bit of teak furniture plus some accessories, and so as I said, I do like teak in small doses - the same way I like orange in small doses - as an accent or contrast color, but not as a main or overall color, in general.

My ex-boss has done rooms with Macassar Ebony veneered walls and also with Sapele Mahogany veneered walls that had a dark stain, and I liked those. They have more depth than teak. Actually, I prefer dark oak paneling to teak - it is the yellowish tint to teak that bothers me, but it is also rather flat looking compared to some other woods.

Lars I agree that ash would also have been a beautiful choice - the house my parent built in 1960 had ash doors, baseboards, window/door trim and one room paneled in V-groove ash planks of varying width. I do love the teak in this instance and think it adds to the design as a whole, a warm counterpoint to other elements that are cool - I like the mix.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:

Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication. -Leonardo da Vinci, painter, engineer, musician, and scientist (15 Apr 1452-1519)

I'm enjoying the discussion about the teak paneling and watched the video again.

I love the simplicity of the materials, the rectilinear form, and the WINDOWS.

What a gorgeous house and setting. Love everything about it — the materials, the organic feel, the design, all of it. It’s so serene.

I could move in today and wouldn’t change a thing.

If y’all need me, I’ll be reading on my chaise, overlooking the pool.

Or in my tub, overlooking the gardens.

Thank you for sharing, Fun!

Love the pool, the big windows, the pool and of course the view.

But I really don't like anything else. Not an MCM fan. It always feels too cold/sterile to me.

Can we talk about the sliding doors opening a room to the outside? I love the concept and I love the look, but I don't know how it works in real life. Here my house would be filled with bugs, squirrels and probably birds.
