Bubble houses of Wallace Neff
Wallace Neff (1895–1982) may be best known for the Spanish Colonial Revival homes he designed for Hollywood stars including Judy Garland, Groucho Marx and Douglas Fairbanks Jr., but Neff considered his most significant contribution to the field of architecture — his legacy — to be his Airform bubble houses.

"No Nails, No Lumber: The Bubble Houses of Wallace Neff" by Times contributor Jeffrey Head details a little-known genre of work by one of Southern California's most beloved 20th century architects. Neff's Airforms, often called bubble houses, took their shape from a giant industrial balloon that later was deflated and removed. The result was an open, airy structure that could be constructed fast and affordably.
