Architect Victor Lundy’s signature style is “More Roof Than Wall”. A product of Harvard’s Graduate School of Design, Lundy studied under Modern masters Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer, and was considered the “wildman of the class”. Lundy started his colorful career in Sarasota along with fellow classmate, Paul Rudolph. He became a member of the “Sarasota School,” a group of influential modernist designers in Sarasota during this time. Lundy became nationally renown for his detailed roof designs. The Warm Mineral Springs Motel built in 1958 is a perfect example of multiple concrete roof canopies, of varying heights, providing an air of distinction and putting on display his brilliant architectural style. Lundy’s roofs magically float over clear glass panels in a state of grace and suspension.

The Rosen House is located at 910 Oakmount Drive, Mandeville Canyon, a small community in the Brentwood neighborhood of Los Angeles. The house was designed by Craig Ellwood for Fidelity South Bay Bank Director Gerald Rosen and his wife Arlene in 1961. Although untrained as a licensed architect, Ellwood was named one of the “three best architects of 1957” along with Frank Lloyd Wright and Mies van der Rohe. He fashioned a fabulous career by sheer talent for good design, self-promotion, and ambition.

Ernest Hemingway’s standing desk:
A working habit he has had from the beginning, Hemingway stands when he writes. He stands in a pair of his oversized loafers on the worn skin of a lesser kudu — the typewriter and the reading board chest-high opposite him.
