7 Unbelievable Pieces of Residential Architecture Across L.A.
In 2007, October was officially proclaimed Architecture Month by the City of Los Angeles to further awareness and the role of architecture and design across L.A.
There’s a seemingly unlimited amount of unbelievable home architecture across Los Angeles.
These seven, however, have the historical clout to match.
Hollyhock House
Pictured above, this Hollywood Boulevard home was part of the Mayan Revival Architecture movement. Build by Frank Lloyd Wright in 1919, what was once meant to be the home for an oil heiress is now the center of Barnstall Art Park.
Gamble House
This American craftsman-bungalo mix of a residence is located in Pasadena. It was built in 1908 for the Gamble family of Proctor & Gamble.
Eames House
This Pacific Palisades home showcases pure modern architecture. It was built by a husband and wife duo in the 1950s to serve as their home and studio. It has been protected as a National Landmark since 2006.
Chemosphere House
This private, modern home was built by John Lautner in 1960. The 2,200-square foot octagon stands on the San Fernando Valley side of the Hollywood Hills.
Schindler House
Also known as the King’s Road House, this 1920s house was built to be two interlocking L-shaped apartments. The two separate apartments were connected by a “utility” room, containing shared necessities like a kitchen and laundry room.
Stahl House
This modern Hollywood Hills home was built in 1959 by architect Pierre Koenig. In 2007, the American Institute of Architects named it number 140 on their list of “America’s Favorite Pieces of Architecture.”
Ennis House
This Los Feliz home was also part of the Mayan Revival Movement, designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Built in 1924, this iconic structure has been used for countless movies, fashion shows and commercials in the years to follow.
