Mid-Century Pavilion

On a winding road in Pasadena’s San Rafael Heights, Breland Harper has transformed a two-story, four-bedroom home into a treehouse oasis. Located on the ridge of an arroyo, this verdant neighborhood unfolds over dynamic natural topography that captures the cool westerly winds. The project remains true to the neighborhood’s history as a haven for well-crafted mid-century modernist residences, and to a design tradition that venerates the climate and cultural hybridity of the West Coast.
