Morrishilltop condominium complex overlooking the lagoonof Echo Park Lake.Mr. Morris work has received wider attention as a result of the publication of andquot;Forgotten Modernandquot;, highlighting the achievement of his first residential design, the andquot;Bubeck Houseandquot; in Eagle Rock (1956).
