Born and raised in Vienna, Richard Neutra emigrated to the United States and ultimately joined his fellow Austrian, Rudolph Schindler, at the King’s Road house in Los Angeles. He is considered to be one of the most important modernist architects of the 20th Century. He was even included in the seminal Museum of Modern Art exhibition on Modern Architecture (which had excluded Rudolph Schindler). Along with Mies van der Rohe and Le Corbusier, Neutra was a student of and helped define the International Style of architecture.
His first major commission, and one of the most noted architectural homes in Los Angeles, was the Lovell Health house in the hills of Los Feliz. This helped cement his reputation and allowed for future notable commissions from desiring clients. Steel framed homes with walls of glass well sited on the property was his forte. Neutra had the ability to weave technology, science and nature into his projects.
