Los Altos Modern

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

L.A. Modern was on today.

The program started with an Architectural Forum Panel at 10:00 am and then the house tour followed. There were six houses in the tour.

Unfortunately, photos were only allowed in one house although they allowed outdoor photos at another house.
It was an honor to meet Dion Neutra, son and partner of Richard Neutra.

At one of the houses, there was a ‘bridge’ set out almost exactly as we require!

Thus, this ordinance becomes effective in 30 days.

And then, we’ll be able to get our building permit.

Yippee!
