Morris is one of the architects included in Alan Hess' "Forgotten Modern: California Houses 1940-1970." Morris was a Pasadena-based mid-century architect inspired by R.W. Schindler, and designed some of the more structurally innovative homes in LA, including a duplex on Silverwood Terrace (Silver Lake), and the Bubeck House in Eagle Rock. Other notable Morris designs include his own 1957 studio-home in Silver Lake and the nearby 1962 Murakami house, where he used sharply defined steel frames to create bold cantilevers and complex vertical and horizontal spaces.

The entry level is relatively small (and flat), at the top of a steep slope. The rest of the house is cantilevered over the slope.
