    What's special

    A testament to ingenuity and engineering: The Garduno-Heiser House, 1960. Raul F. Garduno, Architect, with Peter Heiser and Paul Judson. Garduno and Heiser were classmates at the storied USC School of Architecture in the late 50's, a program that generated prodigious mid-century talents including William Krisel, Pierre Koenig and countless others. Together, the two college undergrads embraced the formidable challenge of designing this, the first of two side-by-side steel frame houses, with construction requiring minimum grading on a steep, and supposedly unbuildable Silver Lake hillside. Long on youthful temerity but short on funds, the pair realized their dream with Heiser, originally a successful child actor, selling his 1950's Corvette to raise capital for construction. Influenced by the sports car's pioneering use of lightweight fiberglass panels, Garduno and Heiser in turn utilized the material in the design of the original sinks and tubs throughout the residence. Featured in 1961 issues of Arts & Architecture magazine and LA Times "Home," the steel frame house is cantilevered over the site, making it appear suspended in the air. Floor-to-ceiling windows offer widescreen views stretching from Hollywood to La Crescenta, including vistas of local landmarks Griffith Observatory and the Hollywood Sign. Approximately 500 square feet of deck surrounds the living room offering a seamless indoor-outdoor lifestyle. In 2015, the current owners began a comprehensive and faithful restoration in consultation with Peter Heiser and the Garduno family.
