Schindler House
The R.M. Schindler House in West Hollywood, also known as the Kings Road House, was designed by Schindler in 1921 and completed in 1922. It currently serves as the headquarters of the MAK Center for Art and Architecture. From the MAK Center website: “The Schindler House, designed by modern architect and Viennese émigré Rudolph M. Schindler, is considered one of the world’s first modern houses. It has influenced and inspired generations of architects worldwide. It redefined notions of public and private, and indoor and outdoor space; and broke new ground in the design and construction of the modern dwelling.” Using a consistent four-foot module and standardized “Slab-Tilt”” wall construction, Schindler created, in his words, “A Real California Scheme.” Schindler House is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
