Hangover House, Modernist building in South Laguna, United States.
Hangover House is a modernist residence in South Laguna positioned on cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The building combines reinforced concrete construction with extensive glass panels and features three bedrooms alongside two and a half bathrooms.
Architect William Alexander Levy designed this residence in 1937 for adventurer Richard Halliburton, during an era when modernist design principles were taking root in California. The project became a notable example of early residential modernism in the region.
The house represents early California modernist design, where concrete and glass work together to bring natural light into every room. Large windows and flat roofs define how this residence looks and functions today.
Access to the house is from Ceanothus Drive, where it sits at the canyon's edge with steep drops nearby. Visitors should know that the cliff surrounds the property directly, with the architecture clearly suspended above the terrain.
Glass blocks integrated into the gallery walls allow views looking down into Aliso Canyon below, creating an unusual connection between interior and the ravine beneath. This transparent feature sets the building apart from typical cliff-edge residences.
