The historic district is composed of the entire neighborhood, capturing the 1946 and 1956 development phases that continued until 1971. The subdivision plan has irregularly shaped lots that embrace the natural topography, winding streets and cul-de-sacs, and communal parks and woodlands that provide shade, privacy, and outdoor space. The development was intentionally designed to be a part of the landscape, marrying the modern houses with the existing topographical patterns. A product of the Modern Movement, the buildings were created from standardized plans with prefabricated modular elements and window walls that unite the interior with the outdoors. One of the most identifiable facets of the houses is the contiguous series of floor-to-ceiling, 3-foot-wide window modules, which are free of traditional ornamentation. As architect Charles M. Goodman experimented with his house designs and trimless modular windows, the window areas were enlarged, often grouped to extend nearly the full length of an elevation while carrying the weight of the roof. The geometric forms allow the structural skeleton to be exposed, with both interior and exterior walls treated as subordinate screening elements, while uniting the interior with the outdoors. Interior living space flows to exterior decks or patios, adding a commodious feeling to modest-sized rooms. The open floor plans, lacking walls between public rooms and often providing vistas from one end of the house
