Comments: The architect has sensitively sited this woodsy house on the edge of a steep hill. His imagery brings together much that he learned from his Taliesin fellowship with Wright.

Spec House #1 (1954)

Spec House #1 (1954)
946 Bangor
Designed by John Reed
Also known as the John Reed Residence, Slocum Residence and triangle house. From the street, it is evident that this series of boxes is influenced by California Modernism, while from the valley below its Wrightian window assemblage is quite the opposite. John lived in the house for a short time following its completion. 1990 second story addition, interior renovation and structural changes were done by San Diego architect Steven Lombardi. Theatrical siting of this house can be seen from Talbot (canyon below).


Spec House #2 (circa 1955)

Spec House #2 (circa 1955)
999 Gage Drive
Designed by John Reed
Next door (to the east) of Spec House #3, this is also know as the Lindsey Residence (the house’s first occupant). This is the second project from the coordinated land purchase and re-development of a large parcel of land at the north end of Bangor and the land below at the corner of Gage and Talbot streets. John and Sim Bruce Richards partnered on buying the land, making the required (by the City of San Diego) improvements and developing the land into several buildable (and unbuildable) parcels. Richards Residence #3 sits on the remaining parcel that John did not develop.


Spec House #3 (1960)

Spec House #3 (circa 1960)
995 Gage Street
Designed by John Reed
Also known as the 8-Sided Star House, the structure of two interlocked square volumes offset 45-degrees. The exterior walls created by the solid square, or cube, become interior organizing volumes. While the original owner has maintained the exterior and landscape impeccably, additional fencing disallows understanding the concept fully. Best viewed from directly above in the Triangle House's living room or deck.
