Designed in 1962 by architect John Lautner, the Garcia House, also known as the Rainbow House, sits on stilts 60 feet above the canyon along Mulholland Drive in the Hollywood Hills. Known for its parabolic roof over stained glass windows and a curved ceiling that rises to 30 feet, it has been described as “one of the 10 most important residences from the midcentury period in Los Angeles.” In 2020, landscape architect John Sharp commissioned Statement Design to engineer, fabricate, and install a seven-piece, semi-permanent concrete banquette in the seating area at the center of the “rainbow,” working with the homeowner to finalize the plans.
