The celebrated California indoor-outdoor residential lifestyle did not start with Modernism. The pre-colonial indigenous population lived mostly out of doors, and the Missions were built around a large central courtyard. Cliff May claimed the historic Rancheria he grew up on shared a similar program, and it inspired his early Ranch Houses. This is one of those courtyard classics, updated to modern standards, yet retaining the spirit and casual elegance of early California. Enjoy the impeccable connection between nature and structure which fosters regeneration and encourages a relaxed hospitality, whether in the pool, by the pond, or on the sports court. There is so much to enjoy in this tastefully appointed Brentwood retreat.
