The roof is warped in a hyperbolic paraboloid by virtue of a series of straight exposed glulam beams all sloping in incremental degrees from a central axis. The design maximizes the tight and challenging lot allowing for views to Mount Baldy from the interior at all levels as well as from the exterior balcony and terrace.
Strategies, efficient radiant hydronic floor heating, energy efficient lighting, and exceeds energy code standards with zero roof penetrations. The design incorporates many locally sourced materials selected for their durability and low maintenance, daylighting The spaces are compact, but the split-level design allows for expansive spatial qualities within and the transparency expands the spaces outward, embodying the Japanese technique of ‘engawa’ to amplify the indoor/outdoor experience. The main goal for the design was to maximize the usable area while minimizing the building footprint. Interior design and landscape design were integrated from the beginning and thoughtfully orchestrated by the Architects who designed custom built-in furniture for the project and collaborated on the landscape design. The mission was to maximize the commanding views to the surrounding mountains, near and far. The client required a master suite, his and her offices, guest accommodations and a two car garage on a very limited and highly restrictive lot.

Following the heydey of radio, Smith turned to television, hosting You Asked for It (1958-1959) and 1981 and appearing as a guest star on a number of TV series, from The Andy Grifith Show (1965) to Charlie's Angels (1977). He returned to films in 1949's Make Believe Ballroom, and two years later he starred opposite Doris Day in On Moonlight Bay (1951). After the trio broke up in 1939, Smith went solo and had a number of hits, including "I'll Be With You in Apple Blossom Time", "Civilization" and "Jack, Jack, Jack". The group sang in clubs from coast to coast and appeared in several films, including Walking on Air (1936), as well as on popular radio programs of the day.
Smith began singing professionally at age 15, singing lead in a trio at the Ambassador Hotel's Cocoanut Grove (the group called themselves "The Three Ambassadors").
