Barragán Fountain House

　　This house should probably be called the “Barragán Fountain House” considering all the attention it has received because of the fountain on the property, which just happens to have been designed by the famous Mexican architect Luis Barragán. the City of Los Angeles has declared the fountain to be a Historic Cultural Monument.

The fountain became the subject of the home’s renovation which was undertaken by Tim Campbell, not to change the fountain itself, but to create a suitable environment to showcase its forward-thinking beauty. Campbell’s design of the four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom home flows with ease, like Barragan’s fountain, from one living space to the next, from indoors to out. The main living area opens onto a sundeck, fountain and pool. The fountain looms over the pool, creating a cascade of water rushing down its 10 steps. Alternately, the pool can be drained to create additional outdoor living and lounging space. Overlooking the magnificent fountain from indoors, the kitchen and living areas upstairs offer privacy – like much of this home – along with the den and three bedrooms tucked into the north end of the house.
