Harwell Hamilton Harris / Hawk House

The Edwin (Stan) Hawk House by Harwell Hamilton Harris (1939) is for sale.

Back in 2011 I posted about Stan Hawk's house being the actual Hawk House, of California iron fame. It was nice to actually see inside. Unfortunately none of the iron was left.

So I brought my own.

 

There is a bedroom under the deck seen in the photo above. Those windows are sliders, which open up for a nice breeze. However, it would be quite a drop if you stumbled out of bed in the wrong direction.

The Japanese influence is seen throughout the house.

It is Silver Lake but I thought the boho furniture for the staging was a little much.

Originally, it was a little more subdued. 

What's with that tree brach?

The built-in shelving and soffit lighting are so good.

Stan probably tinkered around with Hawk House designs in this garage. 

The view from the driveway is the Howe house by Schindler. It's getting a paint job.

Just down the street is the 1958 house and studio the architect Allyn E Morris built for himself.

As can be seen in this 1948 Arts & Architecture ad, Hawk House braziers were specified for all Case Study houses. 

One of my favorite games over the years has been spotting the Hawk ashtray in period architecture photos.
