Set within the Crestwood Hills community, the residence sits lightly within its site, using low horizontal lines, broad overhangs and carefully placed glazing to frame its relationship with landscape rather than dominate it. Mature trees and distance from the street reinforce the sense of separation from the city below.<\/p>\n<p>The plan follows Neutra\u2019s long-standing interest in continuity between interior and exterior. Living spaces open directly to terraces and gardens, with views extending across Los Angeles toward the Pacific. Many original elements remain intact, including built-in furniture, mosaic work created by Elsa Sale and the original swimming pool and diving board. These details anchor the house firmly in its 1960 context, while a sensitive restoration introduces contemporary systems without altering the original ideas shaping the plan. <\/p>\n<p>The property sits on just over an acre, with recent landscape work by Ivette Soler Gardens reshaping the grounds to enhance privacy and structure outdoor circulation. As a remaining example of Neutra\u2019s work on the Westside, the Sale House occupies a significant position within Los Angeles\u2019 modernist lineage.
