‘The project for a three bedroom house for a member of the Rogers family produced a dramatic design with a double masted steel structure suspending a floating roof plane measuring 18 by 27.5 metres. The accommodation, in an elevated position and with the body of the house sunk into the terraine, comprises a master bedroom, two guest bedrooms, kitchen dining area, double height lounge, four bathrooms, swimming pool, spa pool and a basement. Beyond the pool provision was made for a self contained study, while separate staff accommodation was to be located adjacent to the main entrance drive and car port.

The house was designed to be light and spacious, with sliding glass doors giving access to external terraces adjacent to the swimming pool and a spa pool. The living area was situated to take maximum advantage of the spectacular views overlooking the Pacific Palisades.
