Part of a grouping of ten houses known as the Neutra Colony, the largest concentration of architecturally- significant properties one will ever find in such a small geographical area. It would appear almost connected to its neighbor to the north, the Inadomi House, built at approximately the same time, with which it shares a common pathway to the street before dividing at a small reflecting pool. The House features walls of glass, typical of Neutra's work which take advantage of the lake views, with the addition of protected balconies that run the length of the structure.

The 4-bedroom, 3-bath home in 2557 sq.ft. most recently (December 2014) sold for $2,500,000 and was described in the listing as "First offering: The Kambara Residence, 1960. Richard Neutra, Architect. Yew, Inadomi, Sokol, Treweck, Falvin, Ohara, Akai, and Kambara: these are the celebrated Neutra Colony houses at Silver Lake. Contrary to appearance, this unique living environment, sheltered within a park-like landscape, was not a planned development. Each residence was carefully executed one by one with the architect's first ground rule being to provide by design for the happiness and well-being of each individual owner, and his family. Neutra understood that well-being was tied directly to the idea of living in harmony with nature, neighbors, and within the family unit itself. That the Kambaras spent their entire lives treasuring the house, and carefully maintaining it exactly as built speaks to the success of the architect's endeavor. The residence is sited so that living spaces merge with the views of Silver Lake, and surrounding gardens".
