Maybeck Lives in Venice?

Architect Bernard Maybeck's best known work may be the Goslinsky house (1909) in San Francisco's Pacific Heights, with its irreverent, broken, tilde-like pediment (image left and previously exhibited in Subterfuge 1/28/2009).

Craftsman bungalow with contemporary second floor addition in Venice. Also sporting an exaggerated, discontiguous pediment or cornice. Perhaps too weighty, but a fascinating attempt at abstraction, or geometric reductionism.
