Bright Multilevel Los Angeles House With Eclectic Decor

Los Angeles architect Ray Kappe built a multilevel house for his family back in 1967, and the results still resonate today. I just love how the interior spaces flow into one another, passing one half-level up into the breakfast nook and kitchen and out from there onto the overgrown hillside. The various built-in furnishings have all been there since the house’s construction. In addition to wood and concrete, the other main material in the house is quarter-inch single-pane glass: no room is without a natural light source, whether from skylights, mitered corner windows, or clerestories. The exposed wood and raw concrete throughout the house are offset by bold colors. What beautiful eclectics!
