Occasionally we come across an outstanding home designed by an architect that isn’t a household name such as this house by Howard Morgridge. All we can say is that he deserves the level of accolades reserved for the other architects that drip off our tongues. See for yourselves in the home reminiscent of John Lautner.

The Coast Modern documentary is an enjoyable look into the foundations of modernist architecture along the West coast from Vancouver down to Los Angeles. It features works from our cherished icons like Richard Neutra, John Lautner and Rudolph Schindler to architects working today like L.A.’s own Barbara Bestor. For fans of architecture, we recommend carving out an evening to be inspired.

We’re suckers for the pool in the front. We sold this mid-century house in Beachwood many moons ago. It had a red Ikea kitchen (Yeah, we know). Looks like Reath Design did a great job keeping it warm and modern.

How many times have we driven by this Schindler house in the Hollywood Hills only to wonder how it looked inside? With only two owners, the W.E. Tucker House has been maintained and appropriately updated with respect to the original architecture. And, now it’s ready for the next steward to take over.
