The data doesnt lie and Im certain our South Bay homeowners can attest that the market is certainly stronger in 2012. Still we lack supply but were now fortunately seeing sustained improvements in 7 of the ten markets we analyze. As a matter of fact, this report was created with data from the first part of the year and already weve had an 8% growth in total units sold and were predicting the year to end with approximately 17% sales volume growth and that is incredible! Driven by low interest rates most notably but growing consumer confidence and unemployment improvements will certainly lead to a great 2013 for real estate investors! Thank you for being a part of our community and Happy Holidays to you, your families, and the soldiers abroad. 2013 will be the best year ever!!

eREAL ESTATE CORP ANNOUNCES

GRAND OPENING OF MANHATTAN BEACH OFFICE!
WELCOME UNI THE NEWEST eREAL ESTATE MEMBER
Originally, I joined Re/Max Realty back in 1989 because I loved the red, white and blue colors - to me it represented the American dream. After spending 16 years as a Hall of Fame and Chairmans Club Top Producer, I moved to Shorewood Realtors in 2006. I will truly miss my Shorewood family; there are a lot of great agents and friends there, so it was a tough decision to leave that office. However, I am looking forward to working together and continuing our wonderful friendships and business. Recently, I decided that I needed to enlarge my territory and vision. I know how hard we all work, but we have to adjust to changing times and changing markets. I have decided to help my fellow agents, to provide them with leads and their success will be my success. Joining and partnering with eReal Estate Corp with Dean and Jan Thomas is another blessing on this path. They have the most advanced technology in real estate today. I decided to team the right energy with this cutting edge technology so that Im able to produce the best results for my clients. I am very excited about our new downtown Manhattan Beach location. We will be more exposed and more available to the public. I look forward to working together with our neighboring real estate firms to bring the best possible services to the Beach Cities. I am thankful for all the support and blessings that I have been given by my clients, colleagues, friends and family. I look forward to continuing to contribute to this community, our Manhattan Beach schools, churches and of course to Childrens Hospital. Our contributions to the local economy will continue to drive our market upward. It is important to me to protect the real estate investments of all my clients, for my family, friends and for all of America. I came to the United States for the American dream and I am so proud to be American. Everyday it is a part of my morning prayer that our country be blessed by God, that our community and our children all be blessed. Thank you for all your continued support and love.

pre-fab homes
Blu Homes
Waltham, MA
Since its launch in 2008 by Bill Haney, an environmental entrepreneur, and Maura McCarthy, a venture capitalist, Blu Homes has helped revolutionize the way prefab homes are made. One of the biggest reasons for that is because of the companys breakthrough computer modeling, along with its unique use of steel and folding technology. We have tried to infuse technology and really allow the consumer to see the full picture and walk them through the whole process, said SoCal sales representative Andrew Saint. They really get to see how it flows. The company has eight different home models that range in size from just a few hundred square feet to 2,600 square feet. So, depending on the size, the homes can cost anywhere from $135,000-$625,000. And while the majority of the models take between seven to nine months to fabricate, customized homes take anywhere from 12 to 24 months to complete. Focused on making it easier and more fun for clients to design and build beautiful homes, the companys main goal is to build spacious homes that are full of natural light. We see everything through from start to finish, Saint said. Everything is streamlined under one roof. We build each home in our factory with all blu employees.

Method Homes
Seattle, WA
For Method Homes, everything is centered around two ideas--sustainability and craftsmanship. Grounded in those principles, Method has worked with a range of architecture firms since 2008 to design a variety of modular homes. We can build anything in our factory, co-owner Brian Abramson said. We can build super modern homes or traditional ones. We really have few limitations. With eight different lines of sustainable homes and structures, Method allows customers to choose from a variety of floor plans, including classic cabin and cottage designs. Yet, thats just the beginning. With efficient systems and technologies, many of the companys homes are built to target top environmental certifications and standards, including net zero water and energy and LEED Platinum. Getting interest in its structures from Vancouver to San Diego, Method homes range in price from $180-$300 per square foot, with a 540-square foot studio costing as little as $85,000 and a large custom home costing as much as $1 million. And because of its streamlined process, it usually takes Method between three to four months to build and deliver its modular unit--nearly 60 percent faster than a traditional construction cycle.

Stillwater Dwellings
Seattle, WA
With its premium materials, contemporary finishes and sustainable building practices, Stillwater Dwellings has had one main goal since 2008--make prefab homes more affordable. Using flexible, systems-based construction that supports a high level of design and craftsmanship, the company controls costs and eliminates potential surprises. With over 20 different homes designs, Stillwater has floor plans that range from a 400-square foot vacation cabin to a 3,000-square foot family home. Costing between $225-$300 per square foot, the models take between 12 to 16 weeks to fabricate. We are really a design driven company, owner Matthew Stannard said. While we have many prefab options, we are all about producing a high quality home. People really fall in love with our designs. With factories in Salt Lake City, Utah and Salem, Oregon, the company has built quite a following in the past four years, specifically in California. Stillwater has found the most success in Dana Point, Venice and Napa Valley. We try not to make everything so overwhelming, Stannard said. It is our goal to have a personal relationship with out customers and go over every detail to make them secure with the design. For more information, visit: www.stillwaterdwellings.co

PUBLISHER Warren J Dow DIGITAL MEDIA SPECIALIST Kieron McKay

Huntington brought the ancient art of Hawaiian surfing to the California coast. He owned most of the properties in Redondo Beach and was eager to sell them to visiting Angelenos looking for a break from the heat of the greater Los Angeles basin. Huntington had seen Hawaiian beach boys surfing and decided to hire one of them; a young Hawaiian-English athlete named George Freeth to demonstrate the art of surfing for the entertainment of Redondo Beach visitors. George wanted to revive the art of surfing that he had seen depicted in old Polynesian paintings but found it difficult and had little success using the typical 16-foot hardwood boards. He cut them in half and unwittingly created the original long board which worked exceedingly well and made him the talk of the Hawaiian Islands. Starting in 1908, The Man Who Could Walk On Water as he was called, gave surfing demonstrations for the many tourists arriving at the beach on the big, red streetcars. George exhibited his surfing prowess for Redondo Beach visitors twice a day in front of the Hotel Redondo. He was eventually made the official Redondo Beach lifeguard and the first lifeguard in Southern California. From 1907 to 1915, George spread a surfing revolution that would eventually become a phenomenon on the California Coast. A memorial bronze statue of George Freeth was placed at the Redondo Beach Pier and

it is often decorated with leis as tribute from surfers who visit from around the world. Several natural and man-made novelties lured early visitors to Redondo Beach. Between Diamond Street and the Hermosa Beach city line there was Moonstone Beach. Natural mounds five to six feet deep and 40 to 50 feet wide of gem stones were there to poke around in. Carnation Gardens, in the general vicinity of Ruby and Sapphire Streets east of Catalina Avenue, offered 12 acres of sweet smelling flowers that were almost always in bloom. The piers, too, were an attraction. Sports fishing was unsurpassed and amusements such as games, rides and the largest salt water plunge in the world added to the excitement One of the more interesting parks in Redondo Beach is Wilderness Park, an 11 acre oasis that feels like you are way out in the country. This park was originally a Nike missile site that was decommissioned by the Federal Government and transferred to the City of Redondo Beach on May 7, 1971. This park is available for overnight camp outs.

Another attraction is the Seaside Lagoon, a salt water swimming area constructed in the early 1950s, which is heated by the hot water used by a nearby utility plant to generate steam for the generation of electricity. Besides swimming, the Lagoon offers a large sand area for sunbathing, childrens play equipment, snack bar facilities, and volleyball courts. There is also a grassed area and luau shelter for day and evening events. www.southbayhistory.com for more history

BEACH HOUSE DESIGN | DEVELOPMENT
Youve seen the houses during your morning walk on the Strand or your weekend drive through the Beach Cities. They are the ones you point to and marvel at. The ones that are so beautifully designed and built, they take your breath away. Here, we talk to 12 of South Bays most distinguished architects and designers about their remarkable creations.
55
Drawing from Frank Lloyd Wrights prairie style influences and 19th-20th century style, David Watson designed and built residential home 32nd Street in Manhattan Beach. The clients are originally from the Midwest, interested in turn of the century style. The stone-brick, Midwestern feel in the middle of a beach city makes [the home] unique, he explains. A modern floor plan and living area with windows give the house a spacious feel. We integrated the prairie style element in a confined beach cities space. The 2nd floors long, horizontal style also plays into this, says Watson. Every detail down to the light fixtures, dining table and chandelier were meticulously constructed to be as inimitable as the structure itself. Dean Nota explains his approach to modern design+build as creating a sense of spaciousness when you do not have the space. He did just this to construct the Yu Residence on the Hermosa Beach Strand. Made of wood, stone, and glass for the windows and balconies, the layout is more spacious than a typical Strand home. The areas tight space made the project come down to inches, Nota says. The interior includes a master suite and second master bedroom. Notas play on light and materials distinguishes the house from its neighbors. While the beautiful ocean view glistens through the windows, the house is also private enough to live comfortably. There is a juxtaposition between opening up the house to showcase the dramatic view, but also creating enough privacy for living, he says.

WATSON
What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Dean Nota: Louis Kahns Salk Institute for Biological Studies aspires within its own spirit to an order achieved through clarity, definition and consistency of application. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Dean Nota: I graduated from the Southern California Institute of Architecture, where, after an internship with SCIArcs founding director, Raymond Kappe, FAIA, I returned as faculty. Working ten years in the Kappe Studio nurtured my love for unique possibilities of residential architecture in the California context that has come to define my work. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Dean Nota: The South Bay is part of Metropolitan Los Angeles, one of the worlds foremost contemporary architectural laboratories. So, It would be in a coastal community, in Metro LA, with a view of the ocean, not unlike Hermosa Beach.

Miles Pritzkat, from Pritzkat & Johnson Architects, believes renovation and transformation is like a custom made suit. Pritzkats and Keith Johnsons renovation of the Dauchot Residence in Palos Verdes reflects this philosophy in terms of elements built

especially for the tenants to support their living style. The project started as a kitchen remodel, but became a complete transformation from mainstream to modern. Once the tenants realized the architects could help sculpt their
What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Miles Pritkat: I would narrow it down to my world, a place with personal relevance that can be experienced with some frequency. The Casino in Avalon on Catalina Island is a fanciful, classical and functional. It celebrates the promise of living in Southern California, something that we can lose sight of. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Miles Pritkat: I took a trip to the Grand Canyon three years ago to discover the architect/designer who had influenced me from an early age without my awareness: Mary Colter. When there were few women in the workplace and design world, she shaped the perception of millions of visitors to the American West and Southwest. Her designs celebrate the natural history of the locale in the architecture and interior design. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Miles Pritkat: I grew up in Redondo Beach, a block from the Pacific Ocean, so my views have been slanted! Gotta be by the ocean! The specific style needs to allow the occupants to have an open relationship with this resortlike setting where we liveI am gravitating to styles that find a balance between a relaxed formality that nods to our cultural traditions but that also allow us to live in paradise.
dream home, they opted for a carved out wine cellar, a remodeled pool, and an office. The project was about understanding the potentials of the house and the clients lifestyle, says Pritzkat. We created a better flow by determining their needs and creating solutions.
What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Keith Johnson: Having grown up in the Midwest, one of my favorite Architectural icons is the Sears Tower (now the Willis Tower) in Chicago. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Keith Johnson: Mike Brady. Although a fictional character, he had a good family life and a sense of humor. Those things keep you grounded while working in this profession. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Keith Johnson: It would have secret passageways behind paintings, ladders behind grandfather clocks to upper level rooms and a roof deck with an ocean view. I havent decided which ocean yet.

What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Micheal Lee: I love the Golden Gate Bridge for its muscles, lack of pretense, and absolute beauty. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Micheal Lee: Frank Gehry has done more to change the way we think and act about buildings today than anybody else I can think of. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Micheal Lee: It would be a Rustic-Modern structure integrated into a coastal hillside in Northern Santa Barbara County. Or, I might prefer to fix up a funky little beach shack on a walk street in North Manhattan.
MICHAEL LEE
LEE
A man equally passionate about architecture and interiors, Michael Lee does a significant amount of planning to provide his clients the perfect blend of both. In particular, the Guglielmo-Gaines Residence on 7th Street in Manhattan Beach underwent a beautiful transformation via Lees efforts. Formerly a late 80s traditional spec house, it now features open spaces built to display the tenants art. We spent a lot of time talking about what [art pieces] were going where, says Lee. Unique characteristics such as art placement made it a better project to work on. Wood furniture compliments a patio with a built in barbeque, and lighter walls to contrast the view are some of the homes modern elements. It was really gratifying to see the house working the way we planned with the lighting and the artwork Lee says. According to Lee, good architecture and great clients who really pushed him contributed to the designs success.
WINTER
Bryan Winters Baba_Haus juxtaposes typical large-scale beach cities projects. His work on this 1952 Redondo Beach bungalow was completed on a tight budget. He was determined to create something unique, however, by expanding the home from 800 square feet to 1200, The real challenge was that it was small in retrospect, says Winters. Because of this, he paid extra attention to finite details and was anal about every little thing. Honoring the notion that less is more, Winters recalls that that project was a real experiment in space, coordination, and an understanding of what the client wanted. To maximize space, Winters used square windows. To save money, he broke his own rules. We saved [significantly] on the kitchen by going to Ikea, which is something I dont usually do, and used recycled materials, such as skylights from Craigslist. In the end, the limited budget allowed for more creativity. The client, a Swiss native, appreciates that the homes transformation allows her to live a simple but modern lifestyle.

What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Bryan Winters: VILLA SAVOYE, in Poissy, France, by Le Corbusierthe villa is a renowned example of a modern architecture international style. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Bryan Winters: Working for Thom Mayne, the 2005 Pritzker Prize winner, founder of Morphosis Architects and a founding father of SCI-Arc, provided me the depth and knowledge to become a well-rounded professional. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Bryan Winters: The structure would implement five concepts in design philosophy: an inside/outside relationship of material and space; a there-but-not-there emphasis of transparent and translucent materials; a not-at-90-degree parallelism of site to building context; a principle of offsetting materials to create a scope of depth; and a context of
B R YA N W I N T E R S
mass to the overall concept and scope. By implementing these and keeping true to our philosophy, we can guarantee a provocative design and functional structure.

LAZAR
Steve Lazars design+build projects stand out in the way they blend in with the earth. Lazar says he takes an atypical approach that comprehends design and build into the same structure. The method is apparent in projects such as Hermosa Beachs Lifeguard Tower, which is refreshingly unusual in appearance but seamless in design and build. Lazar approaches each project with a philosophy: Function and form have to be perfectly intertwined, like a braid. If form overdoes function then you end up with just a monument that is not useful. If its the other way around, you end up with something that is mundane with no spirit. Lazar uses materials that can withstand time in their environment. The closer you get to the ocean, materials are absolutely critical to the longevity of the house. Though a practical craftsman to ensure durability, Lazars portfolio is full of distinguished designs. He believes there is no limit to creativity, which is reflected via imaginative elements found in his works. When discussing his project titled the OGrady Residence, Doug Leach thinks about the clients her built it for. They are familyoriented, down to earth, and wanted a fun, family house with space for living, Leach explains. Located on The Hill in Manhattan Beach, the residence is a wide, deep lot with downhill proportions and an ocean view at the rear. Leach had 7,500 square feet to work with, and was meticulous. We spent a lot of time deciding how to level the top floor for the wide angle view. It came down to a matter of 12 inches, he says. The house has a tropical Hawaiian feel, with a large pool, pool cabana and fireplace. Perhaps the most fun feature is the spiral staircase turned into a slide that leads to the childrens recreation room. Leach designed the living and kitchen area as one big space. He explains that more people are asking for these designs, and that the plan fit into the OGradys family-oriented lifestyle. There is also a covered living deck, covered exterior decks, and a sun deck that wraps around the house. A built in breakfast nook with a wooden table is the ideal weekend dining area.
What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Steve Lazar: Frank Lloyd Wrights homes. They look as if theyve come from the earth instead of being been put upon the earth. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Steve Lazar: Frank Lloyd Wright for his use of materials and how he integrates indoor and outdoor spaces to create a home. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Steve Lazar: It would be nestled into the side of a mountain or hillside incorporating the earth right into the house. Hopefully it would also have some sort of a natural water feature that I could incorporate into it; really organic.

LEAN ARCH
EAN ARCH
James Meyer of Lean Arch, Inc., is the principal architect on a team that prides
itself on design+build delivery. His project on 34th Street in Manhattan Beach was a renovation of a multi-story, single-family residence. We designed it as we were building it, Meyer explains. It was a stew of ideas. One cannot help to marvel at the building, made from both glass and steel. Its vertically oriented connections result in a seamless flow, from room to balcony to staircase. One main focus was the top floor of the three-story house, which was small and served no purpose. Meyer and his team tripled its size, maximizing the spaces usability. Its not the kind of project we would normally do, but it was dynamic, he says. The tenants were very engaged in the space during the remodel, which is reflective in the propertys personal elements. The house is fun to be in and reflects the beach lifestyle, says Meyer. We were able to mix extreme elements of creativity at a reasonable cost.

Louie Tomaro: Frank Lloyd Wright If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and Louie Tomaro used his clients love for traveling, and photographs they took in Bali, as inspiration to create their home on Braeholm Place in Hermosa Beach. They were inspired by indoor and outdoor shots of lanai-type rooms, he explains. Tomaro built a wide-open palette of entry space that flows into the outdoors and is ideal for entertaining. Furnished indoor-outdoor spaces, and Fleetwood doors and windows, give the space a resort-like feel. Detailing includes extensive woodwork and exposed roof structures. Perhaps the most stunning aspect of the house is the top-level master suite, deemed The Treehouse. It is made of expansive glass and provides a 280 degree, panoramic ocean view. where would you build it? Louie Tomaro: A building in The South Bay because of its climate and surroundings. There is no place better than home. We are currently working on a more modern style glass project with horizontal floor plans. Id lean towards something like that with minimalistic touches.

To be considered architecture and not just a building design, it must be 2012 modern, because all other styles were modern when invented. Once that style is outdated or historic, it is example of modern for that period; later copies of that style cease to be architecture...

to design Linda Flora 1239, a Bel Air home. The structure has plenty of open space, including a living area that blends into the kitchen, but does not have an empty feel. Sun angles fill up the vacant spaces, as do rooms mad of wood materials from top to bottom. The natural warming and cooling system includes an 8-foot overhang that allows the sun to naturally heat the home. In an interview about the design+build project, Killen says that he likes to build work that is timeless, not trendy. Linda Floras design, views of the ocean, mountains and Getty Center and level of sophistication in its build, create a timeless trio that make it an supreme work of art.

MORRIS
Matthew Morris designed the Kallis residence to be a traditional style house with a contemporary edge. The first project of its kind to be done on a flat walk street in Manhattan Beach, the design brings a modern style influence to the Beach Cities. Although dynamic because it is the first of its kind to be built on a flat walk, the home also stands out because of creative choices. It is truly the ideal Cape Cod or Hamptons vacation home on the West Coast. To compliment the feel, Morris designed and built a full outdoor kitchen and an outdoor fireplace. He included a media recreation room with an 80-inch television and two smaller TVs on each side. Artworks with red and green hues cover these smaller TVs when they are not being used.

What is your favorite architectural icon in the world? Matt Morris: The Empire state building. They built a floor every three to four days. It is an unbelievable feat to do it that fast with that much detail. What architectural figure, living or historical, has made the biggest impact on your career? Matt Morris: There is no one single person. I pull from many different influences. I admire Frank Lloyd Wrights organization of space; his designs are cutting edge and he took risks. If you could design your dream home, what style would it be and where would you build it? Matt Morris: I like a mixture of eclectic styles. Hamptons meets New York loft with modern and European influences.

With a first floor for living that includes a private entry, this place is great for both family time and entertaining. Since its a flat walk, it is all about the kids, Morris explains, referring to the kid-friendly area. The interior design truly adds the finishing touches to this dream home. Vibrant blue furniture, and an indoor kitchen featuring sky blue tiles, are small details that truly complete the home.

I dont try to imitate, creative people who do creative stuff drive me. When Jon Starr purchased a property on

25th street in Hermosa Beach, he knew that taking advantage of it would be a challenge. It was located near valley park on an irregularly shaped hillside. To fully utilize this non-typical space, Starr used non-typical materials to create a play between old and new. Barn wood and Corten steel make up parts of the exterior, ensuring the property will age gracefully. Corten steel develops a uniform rust but also forms an anti-corrosive barrier. It gives the look of an old, weather barn, Starr says. He

contrasted stucco and mahogany to further contribute to the old and new look. Warm lighting and windows that reflect natural light work well with these outside materials. Inside, there is a lot of outdoor living space, including a deck with a bar and an area to dine. It was a lot of fun to build, Starr says. Though he did not make the house for anyone in particular, the current homeowner is happy with his purchase. After looking for two years, he set foot in the 25th street property and knew it was the one.

Another year has flown by and its time to reflect on the past and look towards the future. If owning real estate or upgrading your current home is in your future, some of these tips might get you there a little faster. Many markets have seen a significant adjustment in real estate prices in the upward direction for the first time in 6 years. The 2013 Fiscal cliff certainly may slow the current trend down however the lack of inventory in the marketplace combined with a pent up demand is likely to keep prices moving upward. CONSULT - Consult with as many experts as you FINANCIAL - Get a clear understanding of your financial health. Understand what your payments will be, maintenance costs, insurance costs, how much down payment you will need, how much cash reserves are required. MEASUREABLE - Establish concrete criteria for measuring the progress. For example I would like to lose 5 pounds a month for 3 months in a row. Attainable - If you can put pen to paper and figure out a way to make it happen then its likely attainable. Whats not attainable? Well, saying that I would like to be the Center for the Los Angeles Lakers is certainly not attainable by me, Ed Kaminsky, a 50-year-old real estate agent, the TIME LINE - Setting a specific time frame when you want to achieve your plan will create Plan A detailed plan will increase your chances of reaching your goals. As it relates to real estate there are 5 elements that should be a part of your plan. NEEDS - Identify your personal and family needs. For example you need 3 bedrooms, you need a yard and you need a home in move in condition. GOALS - Compare your needs to your short term and long-term goals. You may desire a 5 bedroom home motivation and energy within you and drive you to get to your goals faster. REALISTIC - Keep your goals realistic. Its OK to stretch them and reach beyond what you may think your capable of, but if your plan is to own your first home, saying you want to buy a 10 Million dollar home on The Strand is simply not realistic if you dont have the revenue or capable of a significant and controllable windfall in your future. Playing the Powerball lottery is not going to get you to The Strand anytime soon. Stay financially intelligent, know your limits and stay within them.

Time is Money. Call me if you would like to make some!
Selling your Home? Let me show you how to realize Optimum Home Value
Step 1: Intelligent Pricing.
You gain maximum exposure and reach a greater total percentage of prospective buyers when you price your property at market value. If your home is listed at a price that is above market value, you will miss out on prospective buyers who would otherwise be prime candidates to purchase your home. Contrarily, if you list your home at a price that is below market value, you will ultimately sell for a price that is not the optimum value for your home.
Step 2: Time Value of Money

A critical success factor when pricing your home is timing. A property attracts the most attention, excitement and interest from the real estate community and potential buyers when it is first listed on the market. If your home is priced improperly at the initial listing phase, or peak interest period, your property may languish on the market. Ultimately, this may lead to a below market value sale price, or worse, no sale at all. Therefore, your home has the greatest probability for a optimum value sale when it is new on the market and the price is reasonably established.
Step 3: Optimum Home Value = P x T Call me for a private consultation!

THE DAILEY HOUSE

Architecturally Significant Buildings in the South Bay
THE RIVIERA METHODIST CHURCH
NEUTRA;S BECKSTRAND HOUSE
By Denise Kano
Drive around any South Bay neighborhood, and youll see a variety of different architectural styles ranging from the traditional beach cottage to the super modern. Several influential architects of the past have left their mark on the South Bay in the way of numerous residences and commercial buildings. Richard Neutra and Lloyd Wright, respectively, have contributed to the diverse architectural geography in the South Bay, and steps have been taken to preserve some of their work.
Lloyd Wright
Lloyd Wright settled in Southern California in 1913 with his brother. He started out as a landscape architect and eventually designed and built a number of houses in the Hollywood and Los Feliz districts of Los Angeles in the mid- to late 1920s. He designed the second and third band shells at the Hollywood Bowl. THE RIVIERA METHODIST CHURCH
Richard Neutra
Richard Neutra spent most of his life and career in Southern California, and is considered to be among the most important modernist architects. Neutra is famous for focusing on the true needs and wishes of his clients as opposed to simply putting his own artistic stamp on a project. He is known for creating a modern regionalism for Southern California.
The Riviera Methodist Church. Built in 1958, this mid-century, modern church was designed by Richard Neutra and his son, Dion, and Robert Alexander. NEUTRAS BECKSTRAND HOUSE Neutras Beckstrand House is one of his earlier designs and overlooks Malaga Cove. Built in 1940, the home reportedly used all prefabricated wall frames with built-in windows. Built on what used to be an orange grove, the residence is now surrounded with shrubbery which adds to the homes mystique.

MORPHOSIS ARCHITECTURE THOM MAYNE & MICHAEL ROTONDI, ARCHITECTS

The Lawrence/Harris Residence, 1983 - 2004 Panoramic Views Hermosa Beach
A rigorous post-modern approach to the design of this celebrated landmark of modern beach living has honed a structure strikingly apart from, yet correct for its beach city context. The resulting program triumphs with solutions over challenges posed by dense urbanism, and seaside entropy. From the imposing three story entry, an elevator whisks one to the top floor where space, light and air are the hallmarks of living and dining areas surrounded by panoramic vistas dominated by the beach and ocean. There is a natural flow to the kitchen, and out to a garden roof terrace. Verticality is broken by a multi split-level floor plan incorporating a master bedroom with built-ins, fireplace, ample closets and ocean views. There are two additional bedrooms, 2.5 luxuriously appointed baths, den/library, wine cellar, laundry and 2 car garage.

THE DAILEY HOUSE The Dailey House was designed by Neutra and built in 1976. It was renovated in 2011 with the help of local architect, John Blanton. THE BIRD OF PARADISE HOUSE The Bird of Paradise House was built in 1963 and designed by Lloyd Wright. The furniture was reportedly also designed by Wright to complement the homes exterior, and was recently auctioned off. This home is also known as the Bowler House and is among Wrights final projects. The Moore House, also designed by Lloyd Wright, was completed in 1959. It was a sleek, ultramodern design, and a familiar sight driving along Paseo Del Mar. The home was first threatened with demolition in 2010. It was ultimately demolished in April, 2012 so the owners could construct a new home.

WHY SOLAR?
1) While the technology has been around for decades, why is it that people are just now starting to consider Solar for their homes and commercial spaces? Yes, Solar technology has been around a long time, but we are just now in the 21st century truly recognizing the rising price of grid energy. As energy prices, especially in Southern California, have skyrocketed, so has the demand for Solar, which provides not only a less expensive, but more efficient and renewable alternative. Simply put, its like being able to turn back the clock and lock in your energy at the price it was, say 10 years ago, at no cost. If you have some room for a capital investment, its like buying your gas for a $1.00/gallon for the next 30 years. You own your home, your own your car, why wouldnt you want to own your energy? 2) For the most part its fair to say that Photovoltaic Solar has always been cost prohibitive. But in recent years, much has been publicized about Solar Leases and Power Purchase Agreements. Are they all pretty much the same? What should homeowners consider when researching these? Yes, Solar has become more accessible through Lease Options and PPA agreements, and homeowners should note the price of modules has decreased dramatically. A lease or PPA can have you saving money immediately, with no cost out of pocket. These are usually 20-25 year agreements, and are all-inclusive of maintenance, monitoring software and part replacement. Alternately, a Cash Purchase or Prepaid lease provide a return-on-investment ranging from 15-30%. I personally recommend financing a purchase at 0 down with a fixed payment. Its almost always a no-brainer, pending the customers home is a good fit for Solar. Often times, the most prohibitive factor in going solar is the home itself. But if your home is a good fit, you could save hundreds of thousands of dollars over the life of a solar system. 3) There are thousands of installers in California. How do you choose a contractor, finance company, and product with so much information being thrown around? Its wild market out there, but most installers make the process extremely turn-key. For instance, a good solar installer will handle everything, from the paperwork to the final inspection. www.GoSolarcalifornia.ca.gov lists the avg. price per watt of a Solar system at $6.89/watt ( $34k for a 5kw system). However, my company Summerwind Solar installs for dramatically less then that, so Id advise people to do their research and get competitive quotes from a variety of installers, and work with the people that have the most knowledge. A good Solar consultant will piece together your options with you, not tell you what you need. 4) Whats the most important thing you could say to Homeowners and Business owners in regards to the future of Solar? Well, the available 30% federal tax credit will expire in 2016, and its doubtful theyll renew it, so Id advise people to take advantage of the fact that for the next few years people can get SOLAR for NO COST UPFRONT, whether theyre leasing or buying the system. Once the incentives are gone its only going to get much more expensive. Theres a few things I know for certain in this life. One of them, is that the sun comes up every day. Why not use it!?

3410 HERMOSA AVE., HERMOSA BEACH
ARCHITECTURAL LOS ANGELES

For the ongoing collection of life... Unique properties occupy a different place in the world than do other homes. Their appeal extends beyond their immediate locales to a cosmopolitan market of discerning buyers as likely found on another continent as in the same city. I take great pride in using my considerable resources, global connections and deep roots within to perfectly unite qualified people with exceptional properties. To those who value the unique, we possess an intimate knowledge of the local market and specialize in homes of architectural distinction. Truly extraordinary properties are different at every level, and they require real estate services that are as well. Your home is extraordinary; shouldnt your representation be the same? facebook.com/ArchitecturalLosAngeles the Los Angeles Architectural market

This gorgeous Hollywood Riviera home is a rare find. Located on one of the quietest and most picturesque streets in the Riviera, the home features 4 bedrooms and 2 baths. This open and airy home features soaring ceilings in the huge family room, which opens to a lush back yard. As a result it feels much larger than its 1,628 sq. ft. Enjoy the views of the Palos Verdes hillside from the large redwood deck. The gourmet kitchen includes granite counter tops, a 10 foot island, cherry wood cabinets and new stainless steel appliances. Substantially remodeled in 2006, the home has cherry hardwood floors throughout, as well as Anderson windows, copper plumbing, and a tankless Rheem water heater. Located on a 6,639 sq. ft. lot, this special home is a short stroll to Riviera Elementary School, Rocket Ship Park and the Palos Verdes walking trail.
