*P3a. Description:
(Describe resource and its major elements. Include design, materials, condition, alterations, size, setting, and boundaries.)
Situated at the foot of a small hill along Highway 111, the arrestingly designed Chart House restaurant follows the natural curvature
of the site. The hill appears to slope down through the one-story, southwest-facing, Organic Modern building designed by architect
Ken Kellogg in 1978. There is 9,296 square feet covered by the roof. Gently sloping roof, with four inches of urethane foam, the
roof undulates around the perimeter of the hill, resting on recycled roof boards that are supported by laminated curved beams.
Fixed windows are mostly clerestory and opaque with black anodized aluminum mullions. The center skylight is made of three
layers of translucent plastic running the full length of the restaurant. The skylight culminates in a raised, ribbed dome from which a
round natural rock chimney emerges. The rock in the subterranean walls and the chimney was quarried on site. The double doors
of the recessed entrance are made of laminated beveled glass in curved wood frames for keeping out the summer heat. A low-
profile waterfall of about 20 feet runs in and out through the glass on the east side of the entrance. Low concrete walls form
planters on either side. A curved concrete walkway leads from the parking lot which, together with the restaurant, is on 5.48 acres
of land. Landscaping consists of a front lawn, gravel, cacti, shrubs, and queen palms. Although the interior has been extensively
remodeled, the exterior is original and in excellent condition.
