"This ranch house was built for a family living in a subtropical landscape in the Ojai valley of California, framed by rocky mountain ranges. To offset the dry heat and provide necessary water storage for irrigation, the architect designed a shallow reflecting pool that adds an appearance of coolness." (p. 159)
