The Gordon & Hilred Goetschel Residence, Ray Kappe 1954

The Gordon & Hildred Goetschel House (1954) by Ray Kappe, represents his first venture into single-family residential design.

Located in the serene Verdugo Woodlands, this mid-century marvel demonstrates Kappe’s innovative approach to spatial expansion and integration with nature. 

 

Featuring horizontal redwood siding, unpainted masonry, and expansive glass walls. The home exemplifies a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor spaces. 

 

This residence stands as a testament to Kappe's early work, embodying both his architectural vision and lasting influence in modern design.

 

“In the recent restoration, I meticulously preserved Kappe’s original vision while modernizing essential systems and updating the pool.”
