Belson Residence

Topped by a "Writer's Tower" of reflection and work, Lehrer Architects incrementally added to this existing Ranch-style house, on a woodsy Hollywood hilltop,  The charge to the architect was to continue this tradition, to modify, remold, and add pieces to the house and garden over the years. The house represents a quintessential Los Angeles design problem: how to instill in a formless, chaotic setting a powerful new order which is still energetic, loose, and free.

"You need hard against soft, old against new. Without a hard edge you can't appreciate the primitive line."
