Over the weekend I went to an open house for this 1957 home by Calvin Straub of Buff, Straub, and Hensman. It was built by Straub as his personal residence. The beautiful and detailed restoration was done by HabHouse. As you'll see from the photo at the end of the post, they should heralded for seeing the potential and executing an amazing resurrection.
Straub did a wonderful job of creating the perfect blend of California and Japanese architecture. The restoration definitely pays tribute to that.
It's hard to believe, but this place was a total wreck before they started working on it.
