BENTON & PARK EDITION
Some of the most beautiful mid-century homes across Los Angeles were designed by a firm most people have never heard of. Welcome to our series Behind the Architect: Benton and Park Edition.
Donald Park was a graduate of the esteemed USC School of Architecture. After studying under architect A Quincy Jones at USC, Park went on to work with him before eventually charting a path with Wallace Benton to form their own firm.
Designing homes in the notable architectural haven now known as Crestwood Hills in Brentwood, along with plenty of homes scattered across greater Los Angeles, Benton & Park conceived of houses that were defined by open floor plans, walls of glass, and seamless indoor-outdoor flow. Their work emphasized what has been described as “everyday modernism”: functional, light-filled homes that were architecturally refined yet deeply livable.
While their work is lesser known than the likes of Neutra and Lautner, these homes are part of a canvas of mid-century and architectural properties that have come to represent the ideals of California modernism.
