GAMBLE HOUSE
PASADENA, CALIFORNIA, BUILT 1908
ARCHITECTS: GREENE AND GREENE
Built as a retirement residence, this house synthesizes the ideals of the Arts and Crafts movement with a relaxed yet upscale California lifestyle. The brothers Henry and Charles Greene designed this 8,100-square-foot timber-framed house, which sits on a platform of rough rubble stone, as a series of asymmetrical forms capped by broad, low-hipped, cantilevered roofs. Terraces opened the house’s interior to its magnificent landscaped site.
