In 1960, at the zenith of his career, Richard Neutra met with a young couple with little land and less money. At the end of their interview, Richard declared,"People think I only design homes for the rich - but the promise of my architecture is housing for the masses, I'll take your commission!" |

The eight unit apartment building on an irregular lot in a modest neighborhood that resulted shows what a master at the height of his powers can do with tight constraints, a small space and a smaller budget. This recently restored building creates a special opportunity to create a modernist "design house" where designers can bring their own individual vision to each apartment - without impinging on each other as they might do in a single house. See these views of how Neutra's REAL space can be used in REAL life - for the masses (and even in NoHo!) That is the promise. |
