Greenvalley: A true architect’s 1950s post-and-beam.
A 1954 Laurel Canyon post-and-beam originally designed by architect Forrest Theriot for himself, later reimagined by Bob Audrey with an unmatched level of material consideration. The house sits behind gates and dense landscaping, but the interiors open completely: glass walls, clerestory windows, skylights, and long sightlines into the gardens giving the entire property a kind of low, filtered glow throughout the day.

Inside
What stands out to us is the consistency of the design language. Rosewood millwork, oak paneling, tiled floors, mohair-upholstered built-ins, Murano glass fixtures by Carlo Nason, all working within the same palette. The architecture stays true to the original midcentury structure while allowing the newer interventions to feel fully integrated rather than nostalgic. The result is warm, highly tactile, and unusually calm. The kitchen features a sculptural rosewood island, with Japanese tile counters, Waterworks fittings, skylights overhead, and direct access to the grounds. The primary bath, wrapped around a sunken tub finished with hand-painted Italian bird tiles, feels particularly personal.
Outside
The pool sits directly in front of the house, while layered garden terraces unfold gradually behind it through tropical planting, hedging, lawn, and preserved elements of the original 1960s cactus garden designed by Theriot himself. There’s a softness to the way the property moves between outdoor zones. A separate pool house introduces another layer of flexibility: a guest space, studio, or office – and maintains the same material warmth and privacy found throughout the main residence.
The O' Factor
The closer you look, the better this house gets. The craftsmanship, the restraint, the consistency of the material choices. You notice the grain of the wood, the quality of the light, the way every fixture and finish feels intentionally sourced. There’s a confidence to homes like this: Very good architecture, thoughtfully evolved over time.
