The design features expansive glass walls allowing for abundant natural light and offering panoramic views of the San Gabriel Mountains. The flow between the living spaces and the carefully landscaped gardens, enhances the overall sense of tranquility.

Architecturally, the Squier House showcases Pierre Koenig’s penchant for simplicity and efficiency. The structural design employs steel framing, allowing large, open interior spaces unencumbered by traditional load-bearing walls. This innovation not only facilitates flexible floor plans but enables the incorporation of floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an airy spaciousness interior space.

The interior architecture reflects the era’s emphasis on functionality and minimalism. Neutral color palettes, clean lines and the use of natural materials such as wood and stone all contribute to a sense of warmth while maintaining a contemporary aesthetic. Complementing the mid-century architecture the Japanese style shoji screen allows the functional space to be opened or closed for privacy.
