The Portage Residence
22910 Portage Circle Drive is a 1976 post-and-beam house on a hillside in Topanga, California, with 180-degree views across Topanga Canyon. The listing attributes the design to Ladd & Kelsey, the firm of Thornton Ladd and John Kelsey.
An open plan runs to a deck of about 700 square feet off the living room. Each bedroom has its own bath and outdoor access. A wood-clad kitchen, a circular fireplace and a vaulted primary suite complete the house, with a detached barn-style studio and a cedar soaking tub on the grounds.
The film pairs the architecture with timelapses of the canyon light.
