Eric Lloyd Wright's Wystrach-Adams Residence

By SANDRA BARRERA |Pasadena Star-News

The house opens on a sweeping entry hall comprised of curving aggregate concrete, copper-accented balustrades and slanted skylights. Natural light streams through a continuous wall of glass doors, setting aglow the large living area, den and dining room with built-ins.

These three rooms encompass a two-story oval concrete fireplace.

Organic materials also fill the space, from the kitchen’s wooden cabinetry to the mountain mosaic that tile installation specialist Paul Clarke created for the guest bathroom.

The primary bedroom and bathroom open out to a wraparound deck rimmed with a built-in redwood bench and identical to another on the first level.

The house sits on a nearly one-third-acre hillside lot and is surrounded by towering trees, including a 60-foot deodar cedar.

Landscape architect Gregory Sullivan collaborated with Wright on the design of the grounds, which includes a koi pond, a waterfall fountain and a barbecue area.

Wright, 92, is the founder and principal architect of Malibu-based Eric Lloyd Wright and Associates. He started as an apprentice for Frank Lloyd Wright and later his father, Lloyd Wright. He’s responsible for restoring his famous grandfather’s buildings.
