Anderson House by W. Earl Wear (1958) Canadian architect W. Earl Wear (1925-2011) moved to Los Angeles in the early 1950s and only designed nine homes. In 1954 he settled in Topanga Canyon, where this incredible house is. It's home to ceramicist and designer  Beatrice Faverjon  and architectural preservationist, consultant and designer  Ryan Soniat . Much of the furniture was designed by Wear and is original to the house. The chair is by Don Shoemaker. The attention to detail and craftsmanship is phenomenal. Ryan reproduced the window hardware.   Wear designed the studio in 1964. Beatrice's ceramic studio. Her work is beautiful. Click here for a post on another Wear house built the same year.

W. Earl Wear (1958) Wear (1925-2011) was a Canadian who received his Master's Degree in Architecture from the University of Toronto. He moved to California in 1952 and designed nine homes in Los Angeles. This was his first.  Wear was obviously influenced by Frank Lloyd Wright. The house is essentially Usonian, although Wear definitely put his own spin on it.
