The Roxy Roth House, 1946.
R.M. Schindler, Architect.
Commissioned by a screenwriter and actor, the Roxy Roth House has been cared for by only four owners across nearly eight decades, all creatives themselves. Critic Reyner Banham observed that Schindler "designed as if there had never been houses before," a sentiment fully realized here in the inventive choreography of light, space, and privacy.

The Sale House, 1960.
Richard Neutra, Architect.
The residence stands as the crowning jewel of Brentwood's famed Tigertail Road, perched at its highest peak. Nestled within the Crestwood Hills community, a modernist enclave of significant architecture, the home overlooks one of the finest views of the city and the Pacific Ocean. Set on just over an acre and surrounded by mature trees and reimagined landscaping by Ivette Soler Gardens, it offers complete privacy and embodies Neutra's belief that architecture should heighten one's relationship to nature.

The Mahler / Adams Residence, 1924-1998.
William Adams, Architect.
The published studio / home of sculptor Anna Mahler, daughter of Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, is a remarkable demonstration of Mies van der Rohe's adage: Less is more. While memorializing them in the new hardwood floor surface in deference to Mahler, architect William Adams daringly removed living room, dining room, kitchen, bedroom walls, and ceilings creating an inspiring new space for modern living.

The Kallis-Sharlin Residence, 1946.
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument #860
R. M. Schindler, Architect.
Designed in 1946 by renowned architect Rudolph Schindler, the Kallis-Sharlin Residence is a striking example of site-driven modernism, dramatically set into a steep hillside with expansive views over the San Fernando Valley. Originally built for artist and film art director Mischa Kallis, the home follows the natural contours of the land, with layered volumes, terraces, and walls of glass that connect the interiors to the surrounding landscape.
