Villa 1950's & 1960's

ChevyDave a écrit:Y'avait de belles choses quand même dans les fifties et sixties ...

Carrément Et il y a plein d'idées à prendre, pas forcément pour un "total look", mais des couleurs, des matières, des formes...

The Penguin Arms Apartments

The Penguin Arms Apartments, designed by Arthur Moss, was built in 1950. In 2009, Houston Mod identified this building as endangered but new owners Dan Linscomb and Pam Kuhl-Linscomb saved the only example of Googie architecture left in Houston. They say the structure will serve as a modern home goods showroom for their store Kuhl-Linscomb.

1965 The George M. Goodloe House | Architect: William N. Morgan | Ponte Vedra Beach, FL.

William Morgan studied under Walter Gropius was an employee of Paul Rudolph (the home pictured above is very similar in style to Rudolph’s Milam Residence). He also became interested in designing furniture after meeting with Charles Eames and George Nelson

Our circa 1961 ranch house was designed by the Sacramento firm of Rickey + Brooks (Kenneth C. Rickey, architect and Fred E. Brooks, designer) from 1959-1961 for a semi-retired pear farmer. His family still owns and operates the pear farm in Walnut Grove, CA. Above is the original rendering by Fred Brooks that the original owner's kin still had in a pear shed when I went to visit them. It was in somewhat sad shape from spending a long time in the shed -- rippled and a little mildewed -- but amazingly perked up with a little TLC.
I am painstakingly researching more regarding the original architect/designer team Rickey and Brooks. Their work was published in Architect & Engineer, AIA Journal, Engineering News, Western Conservation Journal and House + Home. They received awards for their work in the Sacramento and Carmel regions.


The house originally had a cantilevered deck on the west side which lasted for almost 30 years but fell into disrepair. We'd like to think we will some day recreate this engineering feat but really have no idea when we'll ever have the time or money to do so.
Fred Brooks apparently lived in Carmel and worked from there often. I even found another watercolor piece online that he painted of Cypress Point in Carmel. Occasionally we get people who come by with offers to buy our house, sight unseen except from the street. The last people had their agent come over to make an offer on the "Play Misty For Me" house.
