Property of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Horton, Bel-Air, California | architect: Harold Levitt

Appropriately enough, this serene house that sums up so many things H&G has advocated is also a summing-up for the Hortons. It is the third house they have built, the sixth they have lived in, since they were married. "We love houses," Mrs. Horton explains, "and we have always found a conveniently convincing reason for moving to a new one." With all this experience to draw on, they were able to plan with their architect, Harold W. Levitt, a house precisely suited to the way they live today-an easy-to-run house for a mature couple whose unmarried daughter lives with them when she is not studying in Japan and whose two married daughters frequently bring their young children to visit.

In essence, this is a glass house. All the main rooms have at least one wall of glass, and from the pool-side terrace, opposite page, you can see clear through the house to the horizon beyond. But one look at the zigzag outline of the plan  will show you that this is no glass box.
