Schindler / How House

How House by R.M. Schindler (1925)

This was part of a tour conducted by the MAK Center

The parallel horizontal path runs along just about every exterior and interior wall.

 

Concrete and redwood

That satellite dish above this back patio is a real bummer. That should be a violation of the Mills Act! Schindler would have figured out a clever way to hide that thing, besides in the obvious place- the trash.

The house was meticulously restored, which included the recreation of the original furnishings (based on Schindler's plans). This happened in the late 1980's and/or early 2000's (conflicting sources). Anyway, by 2009 the rebuilt furnishings ended up for sale at LAMA. The fate of the original furniture is unknown.

It definitely has a different feel without the Schindler furniture.

Nakashima in the house.  They also had some cool art.

Incredible house!
