In 1955, Mr. and Mrs. Donald Falconer asked me to design a house for them and their two children on forty-two acres. The setting was a portion of an abandoned golf course, which offered many potential sites. After walking the property with them, a location was agreed upon near the top of a hill overlooking the town of Soquel, California.

The house has three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a leisure room for music and television, that can also serve as a guest room.

They enjoyed the outdoors, so a special barbecue terrace was included, as well as an outside “sun trap,” a walled-in triangular space without a roof next to the master bathroom, allowing the owners to dry off in the sunshine after a shower or bath. All the rooms enjoy a westerly view of the Monterey Bay.
