This 1960 midcentury home by architect Boyd Georgi floats above a canyon and stream in Pasadena, Los Angeles.

Georgi was a Californian architect best known for his sleek International Style designs and for pushing indoor/outdoor living – with 901 Laguna Road being a prime example.

The boxy LA property, also known as Puelicher House, is for sale via Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices for $1.399m. Stacked over three levels, each floor opens onto an outside deck, overlooking trees and private woodland garden.

On the main level is a step-down living room, kitchen and dining room, as well as two of the Modernist property’s three bedrooms. Interiors need a spruce, but there’s a wealth of original features to play with including wood-panelled walls, tiled floors and floor-to-ceiling mitred windows which make the most of the time capsule’s wooded setting.

The lower level houses the guest bedroom and a large outdoor deck, while the bottom floor is a simple space ideal for an artist’s studio.
