Schindler / Falk Apartments

Falk Apartments by R.M. Schindler (1939)
This was part of a tour conducted by the MAK Center

Schindler's masterful skill of working with difficult sites is on full display with this hillside project. Each of the four units has a patio/garden, great views, all with retaining a high level of privacy.

 The penthouse was the only unit open on the tour. It's the one on the top in this photo.

No photos were allowed inside.  Good thing Shulman took some pics in 1947.

1947 - The plywood patchwork ceiling is incredible and still intact.

The patchwork continues outside.

The transom windows, along with the continued pattern, really do bring the outside in.
