Lloyd Wright, Architect. The Calori House, 1926, Glendale Historic Register #23: I like to think that Loyd Wright's early association with L.A.'s music and theater scene contributed to his un-dogmatic approach to style. A great actor was still a great actor, even in a different set of clothes. Lloyd designed the first shell of the Hollywood Bowl in 1924. Two years later its stepped design elements are incorporated in the welcoming entry of Calori House, and its modern break the box stepped open plan interior, so appropriate for today's modern lifestyles, are distinctly Wrightian sheathed with Spanish Deco Style accents. The residence is masterfully sited on a rare flat shelf above the canyon floor, and opens to spacious patios, gardens, and in the canyons, a nearly unheard of grassy back yard. In keeping with Wright's organic roots, every room except the baths opens to the out of doors.
