Age-old craftsmanship techniques, symmetry, the way the light flows from front to back all create an environment that allows restoration of peace back into the owner's demanding schedule. "I wanted it to feel very quiet. In this age of major information overload, this space gives me a moment to slow down." This sentiment from the owner ironically calls back to 1937 when Mr. and Mrs. N.A. Pallow commissioned Louis B. Selden,AIA to design their first California home. 90 years later found hidden in a wall was a letter written by the Pallows to a future owner.
