Gregory Ain + Garrett Eckbo
The Tufeld Residence, 1953
First Time On Market
Designed for TV / Radio Announcer Dick Tufeld and family, this Gregory Ain + Garrett Eckbo collaboration is a mid-century marriage of rectilinear lines and circular landscaping.
An entry alcove gracefully incorporates a beautiful tree through a circular opening, giving visitors a taste of what lies ahead.
The house flows both within and without, with common living space incorporating outdoors through walls of glass, clerestory windows, half walls, and rooms opening onto private mini-oases and vistas. One sees evidence of Ain's association with Richard Neutra -- with whom he worked from 1930-1935 -- and a desire to bring thoughtful, practical, and artistic design to ordinary people in the service of everyday living. The home contains an amazing array of intact Douglas fir cabinets with delightful pocket doors, hardware, and surprising hinged doors giving way to entertainment space in the living room and den.
4 + 4, 2,388 sf and a detached guest cottage with bathroom and changing room. Peaceful and private near the end of a cul-de-sac in Studio City. Listed at $1.695M.
