Pierre Koenig / Rancho Palos Verde (on Crest Rd.)

Pierre Koenig, Architect. Henbest Residence, 1963. The architect responsible for two of the most iconic designs of the Case Study Program works here on a flat, ocean-view lot in Rancho Palos Verdes. As with most of Koenig's designs, the first visual is one of understatement at the street. But past the walled and gated entry, one steps into a highly dramatic and purposely practical home for Southern California living. A unique, folded-plate roofline dramatizes the interiors which, flanked by opposing glass walls, are open and filled with natural light. As if anticipating today's lifestyle back in 1963, the original design includes a formal living room, separate dining area and kitchen with adjoining family room; each placed with a strong orientation to the outdoor spaces. Whole 15660sf yard is flat land with swimming pool. Whole house was totally remodeled between 2002 and 2003. New roof, new pipes, new water heater. ReMax 2000 Realty represents the seller.
