This book chronicles the development of these houses in detail and through generous black-and-white and full-color photography. It also illustrates a series of ambitious and experimental residences throughout California—Palm Springs, La Jolla, Laguna Niguel, Baja—and larger-scale projects such as the famed La Costa Resort and innovative hotels in Palm Springs and Las Vegas. The result is not only a portrait of a beloved architect's enduring work, but also of a place and time that continues to capture the imagination.
