One of the most beautiful houses in America of the 20th century, just as impressive today as at the time of its creation as part of John Entenza's Case Study House program. This program, which included such names as
Eero Saarinen, Craig Ellwood, Raymond Kappe,
Richard Neutra, and the great Pierre Koenig, was based on standardized steel elements, limited funds, and California's climate. You will be able to see that nothing bad could come from this in a publication that
Taschen is planning for this year.
The Case Study House designed by the Eameses, which combines a living space, a personal studio, and a garage for two cars, near Santa Monica on a site with an ocean view, was built from a slender steel structure with standardized windows and colorful infills. This visual lightness and proportionality are reminiscent of a classic Japanese house, which can be opened, closed, expanded, or reduced at will.
Two steel boxes set in an eucalyptus hillside demonstrate how a humane image can be embedded in a dwelling machine by the hands of a gifted designer. You can send your answers to the question of who designed and arranged the furniture inside to our editorial office by the end of the month.
