In the 1960's, modern architecture was very popular representing a range of architects including A.Quincy Jones.Archibald Quincy Jones, FAIA, (1913 - 1979) was a prolific Los Angeles-based architect and educator known for innovative buildings in the modernist style and for urban planning that pioneered the use of greenbelts and green design. Jones connected the individual with the environment and was famous for building modern houses without the traditional boundaries of closed spaces.Jones raised the tract house in California from the simple stucco box to a logically designed structure integrated into the landscape and surrounded by greenbelts. He introduced new materials as well as a new way of living within the built environment and popularized an informal, outdoor-oriented open plan. More than just abstractions of the suburban ranch house, most Jones and Emmons designs incorporated a usable atrium, high ceilings, post-and-beam construction and walls of glass. For the postwar moderate-income family, his work bridged the gap between custom-built and developer-built homes. His goal by using glass as windows to atriums and beautiful gardens was to create a sense that when inside the person felt he or she was part of nature and when outside the house was an extension of the natural world. This photo does not have glass, but it reminds me of these beautiful homes where boundaries between outdoor and indoor merged to create a delightful living space for nature lovers. We bought an A. Qunicy Jones home in 1980 when real estate was possible to afford and living in architectural homes was possible. For twenty two years, I felt I was living in nature during the post and beam architecture of that decade. This is a very interesting space since it is in a store in the middle of the city where one would not expect to see a wooded forest with open windows to nature.
