Maurice (Mischa) Kallis House in Studio City by R.M. Schindler (1946) The house is wrapped around a north-facing slope in Studio City. It has a broad view of the San Fernando Valley. Originally, there was a separate apartment and detached artist studio for Kallis, a painter. In the 1960s it was converted into a larger single family house.
