==Later work== His best-known project is the [[Wayfarers Chapel]], also known as "The Glass Church", an indoor/outdoor structure made almost entirely of glass and built in 1951 for the [[Swedenborgian]] church, overlooking the [[Pacific Ocean]] on the [[Palos Verdes Peninsula]]. The site planning and planting design express his talent and experience as a landscape architect. He had an embracing grove of Redwoods ([[Sequoia sempervirens]]) planted to achieve this.<ref name="Hilton & Hyland"/> The Wayfarer's Chapel is listed in the [[National Register of Historic Places]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.wayfarerschapel.org/about/history/|title=History|publisher=[[Wayfarers Chapel]]|access-date=2018-06-09}}</ref> <blockquote> When the trees that surround the Chapel grow up, they will become the framework, become a part of the tree forms and branches that inevitably arise from the growing trees adjacent to it. I used the glass so that the natural growth, the sky, and sea beyond became the definition of their environment. This is done to give the congregation protection in services and at the same time to create the sense of outer as well as inner space. </blockquote> Among his last projects was the 1963 John P. Bowler house, known as the "Bird of Paradise" House, in [[Rancho Palos Verdes, California|Rancho Palos Verdes]] using blue fiberglass for projecting roof fins, and the master plan and building designs for a 1970 shopping center in [[Huntington Beach, California|Huntington Beach]], at Warner and Springdale streets south of [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://hbdowntown.typepad.com/my_weblog/2007/04/surf_city_myste.html|title=A Surf City Mystery|publisher=Greetings from Huntington Beach|access-date=2018-06-09}}</ref>
