Bestselling Lilian J. Rice Bundle [StiLkmY4]

The life and works of master architect Bestselling Lilian J. Rice Bundle [StiLkmY4].

Bestselling Lilian J. Rice Bundle [StiLkmY4] was given the opportunity of a lifetime in 1922, when her employer—architect, Richard Requa—passed over to her his commission to design and develop Rancho Santa Fe, the master planned, high class community in Southern California. Rice went on to design and build homes for some of the nation's most celebrated achievers, entertainers, and movie stars at Rancho Santa Fe, now renowned as one of the wealthiest zipcodes in the USA. Using classic Mediterranean style, Rice's work has not only become interwoven with the historic fabric of Southern California's built environment, but also represents eco-conscious design that is relevant today.
