Kenaston House - Rancho Mirage, CA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

"The Kenaston Residence is located near the Thunderbird Country Club in the Coachella Valley city of Rancho Mirage. U-shaped in plan, the dwelling’s most striking feature is a swimming pool within the “U” where a natural rock wall (the west elevation of the living room ) continues below the pool surface to several feet beneath the water level. The pool is visible from most of the interior rooms and hallways. This same natural rock, which clads a portion of the exterior north elevation, softens the strict rectilinear geom etry of the flat -roofed house. Consistent with Williams’ architectural philosophy, the Kenaston Residence adeptly demonstrates how he integrates natural materials expressing the local environment into his modern architectural designs. The Kenaston Residence retains integrity despite additions to the east end of the dwelling." (visit link)
