Neutra Houses - Los Angeles (Paperback, illustrated edition)

Neutra Houses beautifully celebrates 24 Southern California homes designed by the famed modernist architect Richard Neutra. Neutra's practice -- which combined cost-efficient construction with elegant design -- was a natural fit with the temperate California climate. Picturesque and inexpensive land in Los Angeles suburbs like Silver Lake allowed him to integrate his dreams into natural settings. In Neutra's best homes, the distinction between indoors and outdoors seems almost non-existent.

This then-futurist distinction, and his sheer genius for construction, has borne a renaissance of interest in the art and architecture of Richard Neutra.

Combined with the now-classic photographs of legendary lensman Julius Shulman are descriptive text and to-scale floor plans for each home, illustrating the practical simplicity of Neutra's vision and his vision for outside-in living.
