Description:
1930. On a small, inclined property in Los Feliz, this house is another classic example of Schindler's style. The house was intentionally built to promote the growth of ivy on the property, to offer provicy from the nearby neighbors. The house is an interesting study in geometry, with its dominating horizontal-verticle weaving lines. 'Gesamtkunstwerk' or 'complete-art work' emerges here, the old European ideal of building and placing custom furniture to complete the space. Also, notice the matching car port. [L.A.
