In love with this 1928 mansion in Los Angeles, California. Only $9.885M. 
Tumblr media
Just look at the gold walls. Isn’t that perfect? Gold would look stupid in a normal house, but it suits this one. Love the cascading ivy, too.
Tumblr media
It’s a huge house, but this room is cozy.
Tumblr media
This would definitely be livin’ the dream. Look at the floor-to-ceiling windows.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Can you imagine a living room like this? It’s amazing. That fireplace and the ceiling.
Tumblr media
Isn’t this stunning?
Tumblr media Tumblr media
I guess this chandelier conveys, but not sure I like it.

Dinner is served. Let us adjourn to the dining room thru the stately columned arch.

The simplicity- Walls of windows provide the scenery from the gardens.

The kitchen is simple, like the rest of the uncluttered decor of the house.

Pantry/breakfast room has doors to the garden.

The bds. are all lovely and a generous size.

The baths are all fabulous, too.

Look at this interesting room- the bed is in a partial cubby.

Each bath is better than the last.

They have a yoga room.

This is the dome you see on the top of the house from the outside.
Tumblr media
It leads to the roof-top deck. How beautiful is this?

Has a great view of Los Angeles. What a great house.

Obligatory gallery of some of my favorite Art Deco South Beach buildings.
What’s wild is what’s changed to Ocean Drive--the iconic road was closed to traffic during the pandemic to allow for more space for outdoor dining, and now they’ve changed it to only allow driving in one direction and there are gates that restrict access. There’s a big debate over whether to allow cars back on it or not, but at least for the day we were walking around, we barely saw any cars and the huge bike lane looked really nice.

Architecture.
Firmitas, utilitas, venustas.
These are the central pillars of, well, #architecture, according to Roman architect Vitruvius in the early 1st century AD. These are the principles that should guide the mind, eye, and, ultimately, the hand of the architect. The original translation would convey this as firmness, commodity, and delight. Another translation into more contemporary English would be firstly, durability: that a building should stand up robustly and remain in good condition; secondly, utility: it should be suitable for the purposes for which it is used; and finally, beauty: that it should be aesthetically pleasing.
There are many definitions, understandings, and theories of what makes architecture, or what separates it from construction. What is easily understood is that architecture is a testament to our ability to create forms and landscapes as compelling as those provided by the natural world—and that you very rarely feel as present as when you walk the streets of a new city, and marvel at the shapes, forms, and styles that surround you. 
But why not leave it to the experts? Le Corbusier, a renowned 20th-century architect, once wrote: "You employ stone, wood, and concrete, and with these materials you build houses and palaces: that is construction. Ingenuity is at work. But suddenly you touch my heart, you do me good. I am happy and I say: This is beautiful. That is Architecture".
