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. Living here feels less like inhabiting a traditional house and more like inhabiting a work of art.
