Baker quickly planned to build 40 buildings in the tract in his $2,000,000 Fireside Manor deluxe apartment project. By fall of 1952, the developer had erected eight buildings—mostly one-and two-story six-unit buildings in the minimal traditional style. One year later, he had created a total of 16 buildings. In 1954, Merton H. Baker engaged architect Edward H. Fickett, FAIA to design one of the most upscale apartment buildings in the development, the Fireside Lanai. An architect who worked almost exclusively for developers, Fickett understood how to blend modern post-and-beam construction techniques and aesthetics into efficient single-family and multi-family residential projects that would maximize a developer’s return on investment. The 40-unit Fireside Manor Lanai exemplified Fickett’s modern design aesthetic with its large expanses of glass and long, low-pitched roofline. “Fireside Manor” was a “branded” line of apartment hotel rental properties Repair carport ceiling - lath and plaster 1966; solar system Fireside Manor 3S (2016 3CS (2016 5S3 (2016 for Baker, with opportunities to rent by the day or month. 1985; repair two damaged columns in carport 1966; reroof 1633 Amberwood Dr 1954 Fickett, Edward H.

From the late 1940s through the 1960s, Fickett’s house designs evolved from Traditional Ranch to Contemporary Ranch, using simple forms that were clearly modern and designed for efficient and economical construction. In 1949, Fickett designed the 1,000-residence Sherman Park tract in the San Fernando Valley, considered the first large-scale tract of contemporary design in the Los Angeles area. A typical Fickett design features traditional ranch-style exterior detailing, an open interior plan, and a “wall of glass” that looked out onto the rear patio.

The Cox House is one of Galbraith’s finest designs. The simple geometric forms and wide expanses of glass reflect the influence of the Miesian Modernist tradition, while the use of natural materials represents Southern California Regional Modernism. (Context) Nicknamed the “Tree House” for the giant conifer tree that rises between the beams of its front entryway, the Cox House is a striking Mid-Century Modern residence that literally embraces the natural environment. Designed by local architect John Galbraith in 1959, the residence is a wonderful example of the interpretation and evolution of modernism in Southern California.

    142 WITHOUT A HITCH: NEW DIRECTIONS IN PREFABRICATED ARCHITECTURE haps the most important, because it is the principal and most intimately connected with Prefabrication and the environmental conditioning of human beings, is everything we mean when we say the word Postwar House: the “HOUSE.” It is here that we come closest to California manifesto the heart of man’s existence; it is here that he hopes for the satisfaction of his most human needs; it is here that he strikes the firmest roots into the ground; it is here that he achieves his strongest sense of reality not only in terms of things but also in terms of fellow human beings. It is first then to “the house of man” that we must bring the abundant gifts of this age of science in the service of mankind, Matthew W.

This was largely the work of John En- tenza, publisher and editor of Arts and Archi- tecture since the late-Thirties, and his editorial assistants, Charles and Ray Eames, with sig- nificant contributions from Eero Saarinen and Buckminster Fuller, among others. Entenza and his editors were fully aware at the time of the pent-up demand for new housing that awaited the end of the war.

  • The Incremental House
    The Incremental House This thesis submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Architecture in the School of Architecture and Interior Design of the College of Design, Architecture, Art, & Planning by Paul Neidhard Thesis Chair: Vincent Sansalone Second Chair: Ed Mitchell ii iii Abstract Houses are one of the most paradoxical structures; they are conceived as unchangeable but are often changed. This is done because houses are expected to meet our needs as homeowners and consumers. But houses are often underutilized, and their primary function as a utility for living has been altered drastically so that they have become status symbols, glorified storage units, and symbols of what we want to be. Through an understanding of the way houses are utilized and an analysis of prototypical houses, this thesis seeks to define a new way of living and building a house. It seeks to understand the way people live in and use their homes. In an effort to combat continuously changing demands and expectations for ever more and better in homes, it seeks to define an approach to building a house incrementally, through construction, changes in the way we live, or modification. This creates a home that becomes adaptable, accessible, and economically and socially responsible. This thesis proposes a strategy for building houses incrementally and develops two narratives for how this could unfold. These narratives are exercises in behavioral architecture; they are not the ideal home but they respond to the habits and pitfalls of their users.
