Lawrence Test, AIA, Architect | Garrett Eckbo, Landscape Architect | Hernly House, 1949 | The House With the Plywood Skin

This mid-century modern home in 1949 Pasadena stands out. It follows the landscape's contours, overlooking a dining area and pool deck. The design features redwood posts and beams on the exterior and extensive plywood use, per the client's request.

Maintained by the second owners, the home retains its original condition with oak parquet floors, decorative linoleum, metal windows, and antique hardware. Featured on the 1953 AIA Home Tour and in various publications, it is eligible for historic landmark designation and Mills Act benefits. Photos by @CarothersPhoto
