The Taylor House, Richard Neutra (1961). Atop on a private knoll adjacent to the Verdugo Mountains Open Space Preserve, sits the masterfully restored pied-a-terre that Richard Neutra designed for Maurice and Marceil Taylor in 1961. In the architectural enclave of Whiting Woods, the Taylor House has undergone a meticulous three-year restoration and preservation that would impress any Mid-Century purist. The two bedroom, two bathroom home exemplifies Neutra's tenet of therapeutic architecture, with its walls of glass sliders that allow a free-flowing dialectic between interior and exterior spaces. The living room with a north facing wall of glass extending the full length of the house reveals the arboreal view of heritage Oaks. The kitchen, separated by a floor-to-ceiling bookcase, features refurbished Frigidaire appliances and refinished mahogany cabinets. Original details are still intact, including brick fireplace, Neutra designed hardware and light fixtures. Sited on over a half-acre, this architectural jewel box is a peaceful and private retreat set amidst a sylvan setting.
