Description

Detail view of doorbell at the Eames House, designed by Ray and Charles Eames as part of the Case Study House Program started by John Entenza. "The house is situated on a three-acre site on top of an 150-foot cliff that overlooks the Pacific Ocean. The site is a flat parcel on otherwise steep land that creates a retaining wall to the west. The response to this condition was a concrete retaining wall that ties together the two boxes separated by a courtyard that make up the part of the residence,"--AD Classics: Eames House / Charles and Ray Eames, by Adelyn Perez.
