Level Bookcase
Primary colors and black lines put Piet Mondrian into history and onto the grid. Arik Levy’s Level bookcase gives green a go and yellow the boot, though it still evokes the Dutch de Stijlist’s rigid…

T.B.T Radiator
Radiators can be central heating’s ultimate eyesore. These tubes, however, streamline the system to a series of simple lines.

truly timeless.... I read about it in Dwell, and had to come search for more pics. Aside from the gloriously organic material selections, the craftsmanship in detailing deserves note - especially the stairs! But the books, art and sunshine in every corner are what captivate me most.
truly timeless. the craftsmanship in detailing is beautiful. but the books, art and sunshine in every corner truly captivate me. kudos!
I love this house & think it's one of the best I've ever seen. The beautiful straight lines, warmth from wood, open spaces that still feel connected to each other at different levels. It's a great inspirational place. I did some internet searches to find out more about Ray Kappe & the work he's done. Pretty impressive guy.
The artwork in every corner of this house truly levels the sharp dramatic lines of the house.
This is one of my favorite houses we have covered. The Kappes and their house have so much personality and style and warmth. Wonderful!
Ray Kappe is one of my favorite Angelino architects. Still cutting edge and beautiful. Shigeru Ban!
The Kappe's house is a magnificent piece of art. Is this place open, somehow, for directed visits?I just read the article on this marvel published by A Vivre, a french magazine that covers Architecture and Design and the pictures led me to compare the style, innovative by any means, to many of the houses built in the fifties in some sections of Havana, Cuba. The way the structure blends, perfectly, with the surrounding enviroment is remarkable. I will go to L.A. just to be able to see this house.
Ray Kappe is not as well-known as he should be. Thanks for this piece. The new book Success By Design talks in detail about his career.
More than 25 years ago I was studying in my university architecture library. I took a break and was browsing the stacks when I picked up GA Houses, volume #1 (I think) and saw the black and white images of this house, and three others Kappe had made. Those images completely blew me away. For the rest of my college career, whenever in that library, I would take a moment to find that volume and look at those photos. Before graduating, I photocopied the images. Whenever I have moved, I find those copies, now ragged-eared, yellowing and coffee-stained assaults to what were terrible images copies the moment they were made... yet the images of this house hit me the same way.
