1992–1994, Ken Tate. 2740 Quail Run Rd.
With its smooth and geometric detailing, this house, identified as a “Moderne Villa” in the architect’s monograph, represents a departure from Tate’s more purely classical designs. The five-part Palladian form of a taller central section and lower wings joined by hyphens has rear wings embracing a courtyard with a swimming pool. The house’s flat stucco surface is broken only by French doors set deep into the walls, three circular windows in the attic story, and a narrow stringcourse. Steep hipped roofs and the two tall chimneys towering above give a vertical thrust to an otherwise horizontal form.
