Can anyone comment on whether the house that Brenda and Nate lived in towards the end of the series was an actual house, or just a set?
I'd very much like to (love to!!) have a look at the floorplan and interior details if it's a real house... because it's pretty much exactly what I want to build.
Hello Kirk, Having built many a set for TV and other plays and shows I am sure that the set was designed so the different rooms and scenes were on a back drop that could be raised and lowered as needed. I have never seen a HBO program and am only speculating here but I feel assured the above is how it was done.
I've never seen that show, I guess I need to order it from netflix and take a look.
I do however watch Monk. The set designer is fascinated by Bungalows and Mission Style. The one I want is the "house" that Monks parents/brother supposedly live in..
There are many influences on TV these days for Arts and Crafts homes and furnishings. I drive my kid crazy by quickly pointing out some piece of furniture or pottery in the background. Desperate Housewives has a whole house that is A/C, there is a Celphone commercial where the Dad leaves his A/C house to travel the world (Why would he want to with that beautiful house there!)and comes back to his family...Ever notice the Van Erp lamp in the den of the movie "Field of Dreams"? I never did until I became interested in A/C! Dano

the house in the movie "Zathura" is an amazing A/C home. real similar to the one in a lawnmower commercial (toro i think).
Hi Greg Style 1900 did a whole story on the "house" in the movie Zathura. The set decorator was a avid fan of Arts & Crafts and said in the article that house was not a copy of one specific house but a combo of The Gamble House and The Blacker House two Greene & Greene masterpieces. Didn't you just cringe when it was torn apart in the movie?
The house featured in 6 Feet Under is located in a part of Los Angeles called West Adams. It is located at 2302 W. 25th. I'm not sure if it's the one that Brenda and Nate lived in because I've never seen the show. I just know it as the 6Feet Under house

That house was the family/funeral home. Cool in its own right, but not the one I was looking for. Good series, BTW, and available 'on demand' if you have that HBO service.
