Today, Architectural Digest travels to the wooded canyons of Los Angeles to tour Stebel House. Built in 1961 by Harry Gesner, one of Southern California’s most prolific architects, it comprises three A-frame structures that combine to create an enchanting triangular form that looks straight out of a storybook. Surrounded by woodland, it is hard to believe this charming design is just a stone's throw from the city's hustle and bustle.

Awesome. His son did a great tour of the Malibu beach house his dad built too. It's great to see a son so proud of his dad and tell us with a real storytellers passion.

Sorry, but I disagree about the "speechifying" - some homes simply speak for themselves

As an architecture student, seeing what is possible in this realm is what keeps me going when school gets tough. This house is considerate of both of the artists who commissioned it as well as doubling as the story of Harry Gesner's life inspirations and pulling that off is nothing short of amazing.

How magical to listen to Zen as he shares his father Harry’s talent. Growing up in Pukerua bay in New Zealand I first fell in love with A frame houses. They dotted the hill above the beach like little location markers of joy. How lucky we all are to have Harry Gesner’s vision still enjoyed and admired today.
