Frey House II

Albert Frey built around a boulder — the rock comes through the living room wall.

At Frey House II, the pool deck doubles as the roof of the carport. The Palm Springs Art Museum describes this arrangement in its history of Albert Frey’s compact hillside home. Frey completed the house in 1964, using aluminum, steel, glass and concrete. A granite boulder divides the living area from the bedroom. His home combines shelter, outdoor space and the landscape in a tightly planned structure above the museum. Source: https://www.psmuseum.org/visit/frey-house
