AIA|LA is proud to our second How Do Architects Live Tour featuring a 1956 home designed by living architect legend, Ray Kapee, FAIA, a pioneer in southern California architecture and one of the founders of the Souther California Institute of Architecture (SCIArc).
Originally designed for his parents in 1956, Ray Kappe and his wife Shelly ended up living in the home for 10 years while they completed their now infamous Pacific Palisades home.
Husband and wife architects, Mark Piaia and Anne Zimmerman, AIA purchased the home 10 years ago, and on a limited budget began to renovate it to its original state.
Come see what its like for two architects to live and renovate a home designed and inhabited by Ray Kappe!
The house has been featured in the following tours, books and exhibition:
