The Modern Californian Beach House

Am biased, he was the architect of our small house, so sorry he is gone...he will be missed. Pat's creative genius will live on in the many structures he imagined and completed, and this book is a compliment to him....love it and it will be cherished!

A wonderful and concise history of the south bay beach house and Mr Killen's rather beautiful modernistic interpretations. Not too many arches or black squirrels, however.

Inspiring

And good work by a good architect.

If you are at all attracted to modern architecture, this book is a must. If you are not a architecture buff, you will still love the glassy geometric modern beach houses lovingly designed and beautifully photographed in this book. This book captures the dream California Beach Life in its images. Patrick Killen's unique style is creative yet incredibly consistent across his designs. The "look" is unmistakable. For now, I will dream of a house like these . . .
