Bill Leffler’s house was a mix of arts and crafts and Mediterranean influences. He decided to give it a single personality with a groovy style update straight of the 1960s. It was obvious that this task was going to take a lot of hard work.
Bill called in the cavalry in the form of designer and longtime friend Mike Weber. Mike was able to bring the strong, simple lines of the house back with using a variety of textures and materials including cedar trim, cultured stone and a stainless-steel sculpture.
