More great photos of very nice midcentury modern patterned screen walls and plain shapes. de Anza Country Club, Borrego Springs, California. Architect: William Krisel, Palmer & Krisel, 1959. Photos by Chimay Bleue. The wet Vancouver winter makes you really long for landscaping that involves dry gravel, one aloe and two boulders.

Thanks, Bree! The Iwanoff houses are very like Frank Lloyd Wright’s pre-Columbian style, esp. the Ennis house. Interesting! & thanks for pointing out that blog. Australia is winning the style contest! (If I’m doing the judging, which is of course arbitrary, as in figure skating.)
