Home of the Day: A Brentwood showplace by a Mexican Modernist
Architecture becomes art at this walled and gated compound in Brentwood Park. Designed by renowned Mexican Modernist Ricardo Legorreta, the house combines bright colors, bold shapes and skylights that create geometric shadows as the sunlight shifts throughout the day.
Windows frame views of the central patio, swimming pool and lush gardens. A paddle tennis/sports court, an outdoor kitchen and dining area and built-in cabana complete the grounds.
