Oscar Niemeyer is a name famous for designing the architect of the capital city Brasília. Hailing from Brazil, his only major work in the US was the Strick House which he designed for film director Joseph Strick and his wife in 1963. Not many recognize this Santa Monica house as his genius because Oscar was banned in the US for his leftist associations. The house that adores a T-shape plan was deprived of fame until Michael and Gabrielle Boyd bought the famous house. The single-story dwelling gets a flat roof and a row of tall narrow exposed rafters cover the entire roof in a serrated pattern. The house is sheathed using glass, brick, and stucco.via
