Here is the incredible great hall at #Dawnridge, built 1949, Beverly Hills. Designer Tony Duquette’s legendary #Dawnridge, located in #BeverlyHills, is one of the most creatively designed private homes in America. Built in #1949 by Duquette, his wife Elizabeth, and architect Caspar Ehmcke. The original structure was a modest 30 x 30 foot box. @huttonwilkinson became a wonderful steward to the home following Duquette’s passing in 1999, adding mindful details to the estate, and incorporating remarkable objects designed and created by the Duquettes. A true, living Hollywood treasure.

The Schindler House, or also known as the #KingsRo

The Schindler House, or also known as the #KingsRoadHouse is a house in #WestHollywood, #California, designed by #architect Rudolph M. Schindler. The Schindler House was a #radical shift from traditional #residentialarchitecture because of what it omitted from its design. The home was built without a conventional living room, dining room or bedrooms in the house. The residence was meant to be a communal live/work space for two young couples and their radical socialist friends like #EdwardWeston or #RichardNeutra (also once a resident here) and many of the provocateurs of the day who often hung out here. The concrete walls and sliding glass panels made use of industrial materials, while the open floor plan opens the indoor to the gardens, setting a precedent for California architecture in particular. This is reminiscent of @hollyhockhouse which Schindler worked on, and likely influenced by #franklloydwright and the warm California climate. Instead of bedrooms, there are two rooftop sleeping “baskets” or porches on the roof. The baskets were redwood four post canopies with beams at mitered corners, protected from the rain by canvas sides. The home is now run as an incredible house museum by the @makcenter
