Both these houses, designed by Richard J. Neutra, show glass walls and extending roofs to
shade them in summer. The house above illustrates a type of Modern which employs natural
wood exterior surfacing. This adds texture and color interest and fits well into the land-
scape. Notice the contrast of large unbroken vertical areas against the horizontal bands. The
view below reveals the multiple-purpose recreation room as seen from the patio of Mr.
Neutra's home in Los Angeles. The glass wall between them is movable.
