If any architectural buffs have been to this sleepy little neighborhood in Thousand Oaks it was to see Case Study House #28 by Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman. But only two houses away sits another architectural house we discovered; a 1975 brick home by Clemens Kaasmann. The Remarkable Thousand Oaks Clemens Kaasmann Mid Century Trophy Home.

COAST MODERN | A GOOD PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE IS A HABITABLE WORK OF ART

on By

The Coast Modern documentary is an enjoyable look into the foundations of modernist architecture along the West coast from Vancouver down to Los Angeles. It features works from our cherished icons like Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Rudolph Schindler to architects working today like L.A.’s own Barbara Bestor. For fans of architecture, we recommend carving out an evening to be inspired.

We’re suckers for the pool in the front. We sold this mid-century house in Beachwood many moons ago. It had a red Ikea kitchen (Yeah, we know). Looks like Reath Design did a great job keeping it warm and modern.
