The Thomas & Barbara Wirick House, Calvin Straub (1958)
For Sale: The Thomas & Barbara Wirick House, Calvin Straub FAIA (1958). The home was designed as the influential USC professor was merging his practice with former students Conrad Buff and Donald Hensman- establishing the innovative Pasadena architectural firm of Buff, Straub, & Hensman. It is described by the National Registry of Historic Places as "one of the firm's definitive achievements in residential post and beam architecture...a composition of modules woven with lines (framing) and planes (walls)." The upper entry level overlooks the double-height living and dining area which is comprised of large expanses of glazing and slender structural framing. An adjoining office/sitting room includes a hidden door to a storage area that was developed below the carport. A more recently added elevator that travels to both the 1st floor and carport is accessed via this space. Also on this level is the primary bedroom suite, which opens out to the living room below and is privatized by curtains or screens. It connects to a walk-in closet that extends into the bathroom via sliding doors. A spacious interior staircase with clerestory windows leads to the lower level. This is the communal hub of the home- a soaring glass-walled living and dining area that embraces the surrounding landscape and distant views. A lower-ceilinged alcove beside the fireplace provides an area of more intimate shelter amid the wood and glass pavilion-like space. The kitchen is adjacent, spatially separated through lower and upper cabinets. Original finishes are extraordinarily intact- with wood and stainless steel countertop surfaces, vintage appliances, and translucent stained cabinetry. A low island and glass sliding door face the large wooden deck that extends out below a canopy of mature trees. Outdoor areas are as considered as interior- with a grid of brick patios, aggregate paving, and plantings giving way to the more untamed landscape beyond. Cork flooring and original built-in furniture carry through to the two first-floor bedrooms, with their integrated desks, cabinetry, and bunk beds. Lighting is directed from atop these built-in cabinets, which also often function to organize or divide space. The home is located within the Poppy Peak Historic District and benefits from a Mills Act contract providing reduced property taxes. System updates have been completed in recent years including electrical, plumbing, and structural retrofitting. Straub's design for the Wiricks is an important and nearly intact example of his architectural ideas and vocabulary. Dubbed "the father of California post and beam architecture" by author and critic Esther McCoy, he found inspiration in both the arts and crafts movement as well as from California's early modernists. Above all, he sought to create order and unity with a direct and honest approach to architecture.

This is not built to last. It's built to inspire.
Gorgeous.
Superb!
Awesome home. The vaulted space kinda reminds me of the Killion Residence, thanks for another great video. 👍
Where are these people going, this is the most amazing house I’ve seen. I’d have to be hog tied to leave this place.
Beautiful 🙏🏽
I think it’s lovely.
Eh, the disparate elements detract from the overall effect. It can't make up its mind what it wants to be..
couldn't disagree more. this feels like a home, not a showroom.
Clearly your ether blind or a snob! This home is beautiful…
Such a gorgeous house. The Wright influence is clearly felt in the style and warmth, and the rooflines remind me of John Lautner's Schaeffer House. Some spectacular views also. I hope the new owners will love and cherish this masterpiece as it deserves.
Beautiful, too bad about the land subsidence

Do not like the FLW style - stairs for no reason make no sense. Unusable design. Pedestrian style.
It's not a style and there's a good reason for the stairs.
Perfect
LOVE
This is house porn. If it were a car, it would be an Elite Survivor. Whomever fortunate enough to buy this perfectly preserved masterpiece best not touch anything except remove the gaudy modern gooseneck double vanity fixtures and replace them with some appropriate, even delicious in-period NOS fixtures. Perhaps Artistic Brass Delicious if one could find a pair... Maybe in my next lifetime
Beautiful home, an absolute MCM work of art including the furniture: Nakashima, Prouvé, Eames. I should be so lucky to worry about the gooseneck vanity fixtures. 😊
Wow, just incredible.
I came here after watching this video: th-cam.com/video/IPcLJ4xgY58/w-d-xo.htmlsi=sNF7orYtheO64d0m Wonderful, thank you so much, Nate, for showing your home and being such a great custodian to it!
Thank you!
My dad had that exact same car when I was growing up. Probably worth 80-100k now
what kind of car is that? it's beautiful!
You didn't show the kitchen...?

There’s a flash of it at the beginning. Not much to it. They didn’t do the Kitchen Stadium thing back in the day.

Home is so beautiful, in every detail.
gorgeous - does the car come with? :)

neighbors on top of each other. imagine the noise and aggravation.

Awesome
Too many sliding shots
Absolutely, decrease by half, double the length. Perfect.
amazing place, nice video
The film exposes how difficult the site was. it explains what I perceived as negative aspects of the design were difficult but thought choices.
If you were trying to show the house in its best light, this is a fail. It couldn’t be more bland. The staging doesn’t suit the house at all, it makes it boring. The kitchen definitely is the best thing about it and it seems like that’s one of the only things still original in the house. And the pool is killer. Albert Frey was an excellent architect and this video does not do him or the house justice.
0:20 I hate that Roche-Bobois sectional...
Looks like it's furnished for a short term rental.
My Dream home🙏🏼
Nice house.
Fantastic home
Perfection, thanks for posting. The kitchen steals the show.
No soul
Needs a pool 😊
Nice
Gee guys- it’s a little dark…… perhaps if the external shots were filmed an hour or two prior?
I disagree. The darker shots bathed in lighting do much more of a service to showcasing this home than sunlight would
Rambling nonsense.
🤣
You’re a sad strange person
Absolutely stunning!
That's a lot of white paint.
The night shot of the pool is so good.
