Modern Builder, Don Drummond's Own Home by Architect, David B. Runnells


This is the only known image of the house that David Runnells designed for Modern Home Builder, Don Drummond's personal use. Don loaned me this 8x10 transparency film for me to scan. He told me that some photographers, possibly from House Beautiful, were in town to shoot another of his projects and they shot this one image on their lunch break while Francie made them a meal. Notice that almost all of the tables and chairs were by high end, classic-modern designer, T. H. Robsjohn-Gibbings. The one notable exception is the coffee table by Isamu Noguchi. Don Drummond Jr. said that his mother made a special trip to New York to buy all of this furniture. Most of the furniture and the painting of seagulls were in the Drummond home when we visited him in California a few years ago. In fact, he sat in the white chair to the far left almost the entire time we were there. This image is one of my favorite finds in my quest to uncover the story about Don Drummond and David Runnells.

The Modern Design of the Banyan Treehouse


This 172 sf treehouse is located in Nichols Canyon, Los Angeles, California. The house perched atop steel pylons that abstractly emulate natural branches. The design respects to the pre-existing tree and it results in literally shaping itself around the contours of the trunk. The relation between the indoor and outdoor is provided by a single glass that cut out in the floor reconnects the tree house inhabitant to the tree itself. The Rockefeller Partners Architects have designed this natural Banyan Treehouse.
