A. Quincy Jones, Architect
Arens House, 1950
12436 Deerbrook Ln, Los Angeles CA 90049
City of Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 720. High up in the Santa Monica Mountains of Brentwood, this landmark home is one of the best surviving examples of the forward-looking Mutual Housing Association’s postwar experiment. The architecture is elegantly simple: a low-slung horizontal roof with tongue-and-groove ceiling resting gently on composite beams and slender posts – the purest expression of form and function. The second owners have impeccably restored and renovated the home in keeping with the original design intent, with a Poliform Italian kitchen, Corian countertops, high-end stainless steel appliances, cork and polished concrete floors, custom cabinetry, decorative tile, and European fixtures. A rare hillside pool and hardscape provide panoramic views of the Santa Monica Bay, all the way to Catalina. Mills Act status ensures a substantial reduction in annual property taxes, but grandfathered addition may allow future expansion to include a second story with views.
