Near Melbourne, the lovely bayside suburb of Beaumaris is an enclave of Midcentury Modern houses, including this 1956 split level built by B.K. Hammer.
Staying true both to the period of the 1950s transitional ranch home and the climate of the Pacific Northwest, these homeowners approach the inside and outside of their home with a growth mindset.
Located in Sequoyah Hills, a smaller, later development of Joseph Eichler's in Oakland, the Ngs' house is one of fewer than 50 designed by Claude Oakland, A. Quincy Jones and Frederick E. Emmons.
