Eames House, Pacific Palisades


Seeing this house has been a bit of a quest... set down a small drive, under gum trees on a steep slope with a view of the sparkling ocean, it is both modest and unbelievably stylish in all things. Now managed by a very earnest family trust who rope off the garden swing and insist you don't slip on the gum leaves, before leaving you in peace to wander the two prescribed walkways and peer in at what is a truly fabulous mid century home.

However returning to our car in this luxury neigbourhood we found a man jimming the door open. A firm greeting from us and he muttered some excuse about mistaking ours for a friend's car and then cycled off into the distance, as we digested the potential crime scene.
