Richard Neutra - Hofman House - Hillsborough, CA - Master Architects - International Style on Waymarking.com

" Architectural historian Thomas Hines has written of the Hofmann House: "...The Hoffman house echoed a kinship with the south. The familiar, handsome, three-story stairway glazing, the banded casement windows, the projecting terraces and balconies, the silver-gray trim, all contributed to a strong Neutra statement. Yet, the Hofmann house suffered in the subtle but crucial matters of scale and proportion, particularly in the main south elevation, where the large blank mass of the central stairway element seemed insufficiently integrated with the rest of the south facade." (See Thomas S. Hines, Richard Neutra and the Search for Modern Architecture, [New York: Oxford University Press, 1982], p. 142-143.)" (visit link)
