A Ray Kappe Vision of Warm Modernism
Designed by Ray Kappe, founder of the Southern California Institute of Architecture (SCI-Arc), this mid-century modern residence exemplifies his philosophy of organic architecture. The residence is characterized by post and beam construction, the use of natural materials and a seamless integration between indoor and outdoor spaces. The design prioritizes light, scale and a strong connection to the surrounding landscape, reflecting Kappe’s lasting impact on Southern California’s modernist movement.
Light-Filled Interiors and Thoughtful Renovation
Large glass walls allow abundant natural light into the interiors, complementing a classic open floor plan. Stone flooring anchors these spaces, while each room transitions seamlessly to outdoor patios and gardens. This Ray Kappe mid-century residence has undergone extensive updates to accommodate today’s living requirements while maintaining its architectural integrity. Improvements include a new roof, renovated kitchen and bathrooms and upgraded plumbing and electrical systems. The primary suite functions as a private retreat, featuring a spa-inspired bathroom with a sculptural tub and a wet room, introducing softness and character to the modernist design
Private Pool and Resort-Style Grounds
Beyond the interiors, a newly constructed covered living space overlooks landscaped gardens and a pool creating a resort-like setting suitable for lounging or entertaining. This Beverly Hills residence is near Sunset Boulevard and the Westside. A distinctive example of architect Ray Kappe’s early mid-century modern design work, perfectly integrated with Southern California living. Listing Courtesy of Deanna D’Egidio, Harcourts Plus.
