As much as we love when home designed by one of the torch bearers of SoCal mid-century modern hits the market for sale, we’re equally thrilled to discover architectural homes by some names not quite a known. In the Oak Knoll neighborhood of Pasadena, we have such a home by David Stringer, AIA. This 1960’s stunning example of a modern home communing with nature. The giant staggered walk up to the house really sets the tone. And, don’t miss the unique modern pool.

Pasadena Buff and Hensman – The Conrad and Libby Buff Residence, FAIA

480 GLEN HOLLY DRIVE, PASADENA | $1,980,000 | 2 BD | 3 BA

When we think of 80’s architecture in Los Angeles, hardly ever do we do so with affection. The Conrad and Libby Buff Residence in Pasadena circa 1988 by, of course, Buff and Hensman is a grand exception. Years after these mid century icons participated in the Case Study Program, they were adapting to the lots and building codes, and, met the challenges head on to create ever more substantial forms.

Pasadena Thomas and Barbara Wirick House by Calvin Straub

1617 PLEASANT WAY, PASADENA | $2,980,000 | 3 BD | 2 BA

Poppy Peak in Pasadena is one neighborhood in the greater Los Angeles region that holds its own when it comes to architecture. The Thomas and Barbara Wirick House by Calvin Straub circa 1958 is a prime example of this excellence. This post and beam home was finished just as Calvin would be joining the firm of Buff and Hensman that year to combine talents. Buff, Straub, and Hensman would be architecture’s version of a super group. And, the hits kept coming.
