Stunning Spanish in the Beverly Hills flats

Posted by Heather&Learka on

We aren’t just saying this Spanish is stunning because we like alliteration. When we walked through the door we knew immediately it was was an exceptional renovation. Designed in 1926 by architect Ralph C. Flewelling F.A.I.A, who later in 1933 worked on the main Beverly Hills post office on Canon Drive, the home has been updated with an eye toward clean lines and preserving the traditional Spanish feel. In particular we loved the two story entryway which was just as pretty from the courtyard as it was walking through the front door.

The Architect Makes the Difference

Posted by Heather&Learka on

We were in a gorgeous spanish yesterday just west of Hancock Park. We see a lot of pretty spanish homes but this one just felt right. Could have been the meticulous restoration efforts on the part of the owner but also obvious is the deft hand of Los Angeles based architect Paul Williams (1894-1980).

We talk about Williams regularly – having designed over 2,000 private homes and a number of public buildings (he helped design the futuristic Theme Building at LAX and did Saks BH) we come across his work fairly often. He is also the architect who reportedly learned to draft upside down so white clients wouldn’t have to sit side-by-side with their black architect and he could wow them from across the table – not an easy anecdote to forget.

Williams worked in a range of styles. Here is some examples currently on the market:
