Home of the Day: Midcentury time capsule in Marina del Rey

Vibrant hues, preserved details and walls of glass enliven the interiors of this International-style residence by Modernist architect Daisuke Dike Nagano. A period kitchen and a living/dining room area with the original wood accordion room divider are among the distinctive features of the 1950s time capsule. Horizontal bands of windows center on tropical grounds containing a stone waterfall and ornamental pond.
