Film Short: The Goetschel House, Ray Kappe FAIA (1954)
-By Mick Aure

The architect's first single family residence, and the start of a pioneering and influential career that would span nearly 7 decades. At the Goetschel house- you can see Kappe's explorations into a vocabulary that would signify his early works. The emphasis is on spatial expansion, focusing inhabitants towards the surrounding nature and distant views. Horizontal massings of redwood siding and unpainted masonry block give privacy to a glass walled pavilion. Film short by Mick Aure. Restoration by Andreas Larsson of Habhouse.
