Blog#4:Norton House

 Hello, this is Mai. Today I checked a lot of architecture of Frank Gehry and decided to introduce Norton House in Venice, California, was built in 1984. This three-story house has bed rooms, kitchen like other common houses, and also a studio which is separated from the main house. The studio looks like a big birdhouse and I think it is remarkable and cute.
 This is the picture of Norton house.





 The owners requested access to the ocean views without sacrificing privacy from passers and neighbors. I think Frank Gehry satisfied this request fully with his unique sense. I really want to study in this studio looking at the Venice beach.

 The main house colored nice blue, green and orange, and there is a gate, which looks like a Japanese temple's torii. I like it because it is like a gate to the mysterious and fantastic house.






Do you want to know more about Frank Gehry's works?? There is a movie about him, called "Sketches of Frank Gehry". Please click here to check the trailer of the movie.

  1. Hi, Mai. I can't believe that this is a individual house. That's amazing! The view must be very beautiful from the room which can see the Venice beach, isn't it?

  2. How cute a house it is!
    I think it is not strange that this house is in Disney Land.
    I want Frank Gehry to design my house too.
