It’s ‘ like liv ing in an art gallery’

- By Jack Flemming

In the 1960s, architect Tracy Price returned to L. A. from a trip to Japan and soon built a Bel- Air home that was inspired by his journey. Emphasizin­g minimalism and a Zen aesthetic, the singlestor­y Midcentury “felt like living in an art gallery,” said Lauren Sand, who grew up in the stylish abode. Encircled by walls of glass, clerestory windows and indoor- outdoor spaces, the well- maintained home now includes a courtyard with a koi pond and a scenic backyard with a swimming pool set among lush gardens.
