Redwood and glass structure that seems to float above the ocean from its hillside perch. Central hall aligns with the setting sun on the vernal equinox. Later additions mimic the design of the original lab/office facility. This radical architect that loved glass and landscaping, was quoted as saying “good architecture should call for the minimum use of materials for the most interesting and functional enclosure.” Arriving in San Diego in 1923, Lloyd Ruocco worked for Richard Requa to fund an education at UC Berkeley. Despite the citizens of La Mesa rejecting his plan to put their property in a common plot and rebuild on an intelligent master plan to achieve the ultimate in modern efficient living, he is remembered for his remarkable (and still lasting) contributions to San Diego architecture.
