Craig Ellwood's 1949, Broughton House is a bold precursor of his Case Study designs. Modular construction and Miesian styled steel beams support curtain windows that draw light and afford hillside views.

Hillside Residence, 1979. Sited on a wide double lot on the Eastern rim of Ventura Canyon, the architects Buff & Hensman have inverted a conventional floor plan to maximize the tree top views, and provide direct access to a long lap pool.
