A squat entrance tower, its roof barely visible above the house’s adjacent eaves, is the centerpiece of this two-story Mediterranean villa’s street front. The only other form applied to the long, flat block in pink stucco and low, red barrel tile roof is a cantilevered balcony adjacent to the tower.
