Property Description
Live Boldly! The Andrew Neff House, 1946, is the only remaining example in the United States of architect Wallace Neff's futurist Airform constructed residences. While the structure was wildly controversial in conservative Pasadena when it was built, it has stood the test of time, and continues to provide a warm, comfortable and contemporary living environment. Later additions to the property include: An Airform constructed bomb shelter built 15 feet underground during the "Duck & Cover" atomic bomb scare days. It is said that the shelter "was designed to accommodate a family of four to five based on the standards established by the Office of Civil Defense." Today, this space offers the potential to become a world class wine cellar. Shortly after his purchase in the late 1990's, artist Steve Roden hired architect William Merzbach to expand the existing garage into a thousand square foot studio which incorporates an additional office, bath, and the laundry. The buildings are carefully sited on a northwest corner lot that provides ample gated parking, mature gardens and two outdoor patios.
