If this is your home, I apologize my memory is not perfect.
If it is indeed a Wright student, he failed to understand the purpose of a constricted low Wrightarian entrance was to motivate guests to quickly move inward so the door could be closed.
So yes, it does feature the entry even thou not necessary. Long horizontal lines also lead to speculation.
The home is on the right side of the street about 1/2 mile upslope of KTA. There is a small stream running in a perfectly landscaped backyard. Wood Wood and more wood.
From the entrance a low dark narrow hall leads kitchen left to the main room with the panoramic view. I think this was all aged redwood. The hallway to the right is lined with closed storage closets and, while the wood matches, I think they were an afterthought requested by the owner.
The overall result is not wanting to traverse the hallway and an alienated kitchen.
The kitchen was set perfect with West sun. Yes to East facing tiny breakfast rooms, no to East facing kitchens.
I do not recall exactly what the claim was regarding the architect. However, it wasn't Wright. That I would have recalled.
It is not near KTA, it is in Keaukaha at the corner of Kalanianaole and Lokoaka St. right across from one of the ocean access parking lots.
