The Gertler Residence by Architect Ray Kappe, 1970

Architecture

May 19

Located in Santa Monica, California, the Gertler Residence was commissioned by Mr. and Mrs. Leonard Gertler. Famed architect Raymond “Ray” Kappe built the home on a densely populated lot of trees with canyon and treetop views from every angle. The home’s structure is made up of eight redwood towers serving as the foundation. Another fascinating aspect of the home is that the foundation was built around a eucalyptus tree. The home consists of three-stories, four-bedrooms and three-bathrooms all made up of redwood and glass.
