After languishing on the market for several years, the house found its next free-spirited owner. Some interior walls show through the rough unfinished gray concrete and aggregate. After they pull it off, the concrete is smooth. Then they get hammers and break little pieces off. T he home's simple, vertical layout consists of four cubes juxtaposed on a base.
F rom the outside the home definitely seems like modern sculpture.
Within the feeling is much the same. The redwood ceilings and oak floors frame an exceptional collection of original mid-century furnishings. A lthough Gerarden's vintage furnishings span the '50s through the '70s, he favors the more voluptuous forms of the latter two decades. The '60s and '70s make appearances throughout the home in the form of Eero Aarnio's 1966 Globe and 1968 Gyro chairs, which envelope the sitter in a molded fiberglass sphere or make one feel as though he is sitting on an oversize aspirin, respectively. B ut the 1950s do have a significant impact, the archetypal Predicta television in the living room notwithstanding.
