How often can you say, “I spent Sunday morning in the belly of a whale”? Well, this past Sunday morning, I did just that. The “Whale House” is an iconic Gaudi-inspired, wood-shingled, three-story home plus guest house on a private lane in Mission Canyon. 

Every surface and feature of this residence is special. The exterior is covered by cedar shingles, and there’s not one right angle in the whole place. Built in 1978 by architect Michael Carmichael as his own residence, the home is impressive, fanciful, and yet still immensely livable.
