  • Architect Richard Leitch from the USC School of Architecture isn't spoken about too often however his work speaks volume. From The Hillsides of Altadena to the dry landscapes of the desert you can find some of Richard's work throughout Southern California. Avid Car lover Joe Tseng found himself entrenched in a year-long restoration/Remodel of his current home ' The Desert Sun House', a project which he wanted to share with his son Tyler. They've saved and transformed the home into what you see today, A classic home filled with rich History and thoroughly enjoyed by its new owners.

    I knew I liked this home owner, then saw the Avante and KNEW he was an ace human!

    Really wonderful that you can spend that time with your son and that the experience will live on through the house _ leaving both a physical legacy and memories...

    Richard Leitch was one of my best friends in the 1970s & 80s. I met him when I was a kid working for Bill Pereira. RL had moved to Laguna Beach and had all kinds of smart projects. He owned a 'Pole House' (Japanese Wood Pavilion) company in Hawaii. At the end of his life he was trying to sell/give me all his brands. I had no idea abut his work in PS. Kinda emotional for me to watch this.

    The Avante was designed by a couple young car designers in a house in Palm Springs in the neighborhood above Vista Chino and Raymond lowey checked in on them to see their progress on the car

    Gorgeous! I like how he says: "it is one year of my life" so i need to make it right. Meaningful thoughtful working and leaving. So many of us just work and see the life passing.

    Nice house. I counted 5 different designs of exterior furniture, it would look so much better with 1, maybe 2 . Actually no outside furniture at all would look better than 5.

    Great house and story. My parents lived in the Coachella Valley for many years starting out in Rancho Mirage, moving east to Indian Wells and then Indio. Palm Springs is the Mecca of MCM architecture and lifestyle!

    I LOVE this house, and the story behind it. I particularly love the details of the tiles, wallpaper, and fabrics that were used. That shower is a knockout!

    Helping your child become independent doesn’t mean kicking them out or sending them to college at 18 just bc you’re legally allowed to do so. It means spending the time with them to ensure they will become independent, if they choose to do so. ;)

    Did they ever say, why they did not remove those additions, and restore to the architect’s 1,500 sq foot design ???

    • @justmoritz
      @justmoritz 3 місяці тому

      Probably because people still need to live in a house. It’s not a museum

    He doesn't know how to use the past tenses. Speaks in the present only.

    Strange linguistic phenomenon - he speaks only in the present tense.
