Miller Residence by Eero Saarinen
A change for our regular programming – not your typical city loft – however it has the open plan living and the floor-to-ceiling windows you’d expect. Saarinen’s buildings are truly timeless classics and this is one of the few family homes he had ever designed.
Modern Castle
When we think of castles, the last adjective that comes to mind is ‘modern’, but that’s just what this castle is, modern.
Iconic houses – Chemosphere
After two years of restoration, John Lautner’s famous Chemosphere house in the Hollywood Hills above Los Angeles, is once again the remarkable innovative design that Lautner created in 1960. The new owners Angelika and Benedikt Taschen first saw the house in 1997 in a neglected state, and set about repairing the building and Lautner’s reputation. “(The house) was unique”, Ms. Taschen recalled. “authentic and intense, idealistic and full of fantasy, non-conformist. I felt immediately that it fit our character perfectly.”
Ennis House
When Frank Lloyd Wright completed the Ennis house in 1924, he immediately considered it his favorite. The last and largest of the four concrete-block houses that Wright built in the Los Angeles area remains arguably the best residential example of Mayan Revival architecture in the country.
Kenneth Laurent House by Frank Lloyd Wright
The one-story house is one of Wright’s smaller homes and one of his favorites. It showcases a lovely ellipse shape and occupies an area of 2500 square meters. Featuring three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the crib has flowing and gently curved spaces.
Live Work Loft
Canadian architects Wonder Inc. designed this chic live work loft where the owner – an artist – could let his creativity run wild. Inside, the minimalist interiors feature white walls and ceilings that bounce light around and light up every corner. Hanging on the clean bright walls, artwork catches the eye and creates an art-gallery atmosphere.
Elrod House
John Lautner’s Elrod House is literally one of THE most architecturally significant homes in all the world. This home was commissioned by designer Arthur Elrod in 1968 and has been featured in numerous books, magazines and museum exhibitions. It is the iconic home perched at the very tip of the Southridge enclave, easily viewable throughout Palm Springs. Organic shapes, monumental construction and world class design create an extraordinary experience of space that Lautner himself described as “timeless” architecture.
Mid-Century Modern Loft
If a mix of contemporary design and mid century-modern interiors is your thing, you will love this handsome loft by Poteet Architects. Rich and warm with a luxurious but comfortable atmosphere, this space is well laid out with wonderfully high ceilings.
Millard House
Frank Lloyd Wright is one of my heroes. His houses are so characteristic but at the same time all different – no wonder that he is one of the giants of the 20th century architecture.
Millard House, also known as La Miniatura, is one of the four textile block houses designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. It was commissioned by rare book dealer Alice Millard, for whom Wright had already designed a home in Chicago in 1906.
