@@magatism Olive groves are usually created by man to serve man, so I see no conflict with what this house is doing. Also no, the Nazis actually hated this type of architecture (they preferred classical Greek and Roman, European). You're thinking of the Soviets. Imo this was out of place for them too, as they tended to focus on BIG imposing modernist architecture, not small, unique, fit into nature architecture.

I would definitely have open a nice view in the guest room, as you only have the mini garden there, no view of the open landscape there. Yes, the gym is a good idea too, with a sauna and a jacuzzi. Other than that the architecture is intentionally created to contemporary vision, I love it.

Kristen, I have watched your videos for a few years now and always appreciate the uniqueness of individual homes you share with us. This one captures my imagination in special ways: my college in Southern California had a large olive grove planted to one side of the varied concrete halls, library, and dormitories. We had paths to walk among the beautiful trees with their ripening fruit - a connection to ancient Mid-Eastern history - that we enjoyed in season and quiet places for meditation. This gorgeous home with its stunning setting vividly reminds me of that lovely, precious time and place. Thank you!

Hello, Jose! I attended BIOLA College in La Mirada, CA about a few years before it became a certified university. At that time the Olive Grove took up the west rise of the hillside along La Mirada Blvd; I remember that the trees seemed to be spaced about twelve to fifteen feet apart. There were numerous olive groves throughout the city and in the area for the reasons you would expect; it was a well-respected marketplace for buyers and sellers. As the University added new dorms, teaching and auxiliary buildings, the grove diminished. In 2009, alumni raise funds to have a new grove created with sixty trees; some were new and many were mature trees originally planted on the property in the late 1880s. Since this is a private Christian university, the olive grove represents a very significant reference for followers to Jesus' life and the several thousand-year history of Israel. Thanks for asking. : )

Movie Jose, Pomona was a very good guess. I would have guessed a bit further to the east, Redlands.

@@DanielinLaTuna - DLT, I thought it was an excellent guess and was surprized at the nearness to my unspecified college. La Mirada is about 4.5 miles directly SW as a crow flies, or 6 miles by freeway. I lived in several locations in LA and Orange counties, so the map is firmly in my mind from those days. Y'all have a great week! : )

Sherrill Smith, hello from SoCal! I’m not sure where Movie Jose lives, but I guess LA. We’re probably thinking along the foothills of the San Gabriels or San Bernardinos, where they had all kinds of fruit groves. UCRiverside still has a large citrus experimental grove, and CalPoly Pomona was a farm school. I always associate OC with orange groves, so BIOLA wasn’t on my radar. I love KZbin for all the learning, including in the comments section. Where did you go after leaving us in Southern California? Do you miss it? Blessings to you.

I love modern Greek architecture. There's grace in bold/simple forms and elegance in muted earthen materials. I see a critical and curious eye on tradition; architects and clients embracing the new but also cherishing memory.

What a magnificent dwelling. What precise and yet organic architectural strategies are employed; every design choice is rational but not at all forced. Touring it through your capable film making gives the viewer such a sense of slowed time and easy serenity. One of the most beautiful places featured on this channel. Thanks For Posting.
