1958 Post-and-Beam Residence
Sherman Oaks, California
Young Woo, Architect
Designed in 1958 by noted Los Angeles architect Young Woo, this post-and-beam residence is a striking expression of classic California modernism thoughtfully updated for contemporary living while remaining remarkably true to its original architectural vision.
Offered by only its second owners, the home blends iconic mid-century lines with warm, livable interiors and dramatic canyon views from nearly every angle.
Floor-to-ceiling glass spans the rear of the home, dissolving the boundary between indoors and out, while original details remain beautifully intacttiger oak floors, clean post-and-beam lines, and a distinctive fireplace anchoring the dramatic living and dining spaces.
Privately sited on an expansive hillside lot, the property includes multiple outdoor entertaining areas, expansive decks, a classic kidney-shaped pool and hot tub, gardens, grassy areas, and intimate moments tucked throughout the landscape.
Surrounded by other architecturally significant mid-century residences, the home sits within a cohesive architectural enclaveprivate, sophisticated, and deeply connected to Los Angeles design history.

What makes a home architectural?
Many people associate architecture with famous names like Neutra, Schindler, Lautner, or Koenig. But does a home need a celebrated architect to be considered great architecture?
This mid-century residence by June Veloso raises that question.
While it may not have the pedigree of some of Southern California’s most celebrated modernist works, it possesses many of the qualities that define thoughtful design. The roofline shifts and rises to bring natural light into the private spaces. Vertical circulation separates public and private areas while maintaining visual connections throughout the home. A dramatic chimney anchors the floor plan, creating definition without sacrificing openness.
Details such as the glue-lam beams, diagonal roof decking, expansive glass, and jalousie windows reveal a home that was carefully considered rather than simply constructed.
What stood out most was how livable it feels. Architecture is often criticized for prioritizing form over function, yet this home achieves both. The spaces are open, comfortable, filled with natural light, and deeply connected to the mature sycamore trees surrounding the property.
Perhaps architecture is not solely about pedigree. Perhaps it is about the way a home shapes daily life through light, space, movement, and connection to nature.
What do you think? Does a home need a famous architect to be considered architecture?

Neutra’s Jardinette Apartments | A Rare Look Inside a Living Landmark
LA Forum Tour
Saturday, May 30
12–2 PM
BUY TICKETS: www.laforum.org/events
Richard Neutra, Architect
Jardinette Apartments, 1928
National Register of Historic Places
California Register of Historical Resources
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument
The LA Forum is offering rare access to this landmark at a singular moment: an extensive renovation is underway, and the building will be seen while work is still in progress.
Hidden in plain sight near Melrose & Western, this 43-unit apartment building is Neutra’s first US project, widely considered one of the first Modernist buildings in America and an early example of the International Style in this country.
Designed under the Architectural Group of Industry and Commerce—Neutra’s sometime partnership with Rudolph Schindler—the building introduced European Modernist principles to Los Angeles while earning international recognition. It impressed Bauhaus founder Walter Gropius during his 1928 visit to LA and was later selected for MoMA’s seminal 1932 exhibition, Modern Architecture.
Here, Neutra began developing ideas that would shape much of his later work: clean lines, flat roofs, minimal ornament, industrial materials, ribbon windows, and a strong relationship to landscape. Organized around a verdant courtyard, the apartments open to cantilevered balconies, blurring the boundary between indoors and out.
After decades of benign neglect, the property has been acquired by local steward Cameron Hassid of Apollo Capital, who has led an extensive renovation with the city’s Office of Historic Resources, architectural historian Barbara Lamprecht, and June Street Architects.
Because work is still underway, the tour offers something unusual: the building mid-transformation, its structure exposed, its history legible in ways a finished restoration can sometimes obscure. A rare opportunity to see not just what Neutra built, but how it was built.

Sunnyside Apartments
A new building by Holos Communities
Thank you @laforum_aud, @lehrerarchitects, and @holoscommunities for a thoughtful tour of Sunnyside Apartments today.
What does it mean to design a home for someone who has not had one recently?
This 27-unit supportive housing project by Lehrer Architects offers one answer: that dignified, community-centered design is not an amenity. It is foundational.
Conceived as a fully affordable multi-family residence for chronically homeless individuals, Sunnyside makes a quiet but powerful case for architecture as a framework for stability, health, and belonging. The unit mix — 23 units for low-income residents, three for moderate-income households, and one manager’s unit — reflects a deliberate commitment to integration within a single building.
As a publicly funded project, every design decision carries a heightened level of responsibility. Here, that accountability appears to have produced not compromise, but clarity: a building that is navigable, welcoming, and deeply attentive to the daily lives of its residents.
The ground-floor gathering room anchors the social life of the building. It recognizes something too often overlooked in supportive housing: people need somewhere to be together, not just somewhere to sleep.
And in a city where access to green space remains unevenly distributed, placing a garden at the top of a supportive housing building becomes more than a design move. It is a statement that wellness, beauty, and community belong here too.
Grateful to @laforum_aud, @lehrerarchitects, Michael Lehrer, and @holoscommunities for opening up the conversation around how housing can do more than provide shelter — it can help rebuild a sense of home.
What can architecture do when housing is understood not only as shelter, but as a foundation for stability, health, and belonging?

And in a city where access to green space remains unevenly distributed, placing a garden at the top of a supportive housing building becomes more than a design move. It is a statement that wellness, beauty, and community belong here too.
Grateful to @laforum_aud, @lehrerarchitects, Michael Lehrer, and @holoscommunities for opening up the conversation around how housing can do more than provide shelter — it can help rebuild a sense of home.
What can architecture do when housing is understood not only as shelter, but as a foundation for stability, health, and belonging?

What does it mean to design a home for someone who has not had one recently?
This 27-unit supportive housing project by Lehrer Architects offers one answer: that dignified, community-centered design is not an amenity. It is foundational.
Conceived as a fully affordable multi-family residence for chronically homeless individuals, Sunnyside makes a quiet but powerful case for architecture as a framework for stability, health, and belonging. The unit mix — 23 units for low-income residents, three for moderate-income households, and one manager’s unit — reflects a deliberate commitment to integration within a single building.

R.M. Schindler, Presburger House, 1945
Set within the quiet fabric of Los Angeles, the Presburger House reflects Schindler’s fully realized philosophy of space as the primary architectural medium. Here, walls do not define rooms so much as suggest them, allowing space to unfold through shifts in light, proportion, and movement.
Rather than relying on spectacle, Schindler creates an experience that is intimate and deeply human. Compression gives way to release, interior dissolves into exterior, and the home reveals itself gradually as one moves through it.
This is not architecture as object, but as atmosphere, a quiet yet profound reminder that the true power of design lies not in what is built, but in how it is experienced.

Nearly lost. Carefully recovered.
The Van Dekker House, designed by R. M. Schindler in 1940 for actor Albert Van Dekker, is one of those rare works where ambition and intimacy occupy the same frame.
Set in Woodland Hills, the house is unusually large for Schindler — but never loose. Every move feels considered: the diagonal siting, the layered volumes, the dramatic two-story living room, the built-ins, the clerestory light, the sliding wood windows, the transition from compression to release.
And then there is the roof — an asymmetrical copper form unlike anything else in Schindler’s residential work.
For years, the house sat vulnerable. Water intrusion, missing roof panels, boarded windows, deferred maintenance. Its future was anything but certain.
What followed was not a reinvention, but an act of stewardship.
The house was protected, repaired, and allowed to speak again — with its original ideas intact.
A reminder that great architecture does not simply survive by accident.
It survives when someone gets it.

John Lautner, Architect
The Mauer House , 1947
Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument No. 481
Mt. Washington
Perched into the hillside above Los Angeles, the Mauer House is one of John Lautner’s earliest explorations of space as architecture’s primary force.
Conceived less as a conventional home and more as a “warehouse of space,” the design prioritizes volume, openness, light, and structure over traditional domestic form.
Today, the house sits in a state of visible neglect. Years of deferred maintenance have obscured, but not erased, Lautner’s original intent. Beneath the layers, the spatial clarity remains.
There is something uniquely powerful about encountering architecture in this condition. Stripped of polish and perfection, the core ideas become legible again. Structure, proportion, and light reassert themselves as the primary language.
With early efforts now underway to restore the home, the Mauer House stands at a critical moment, caught between deterioration and renewal.
It raises an important question for our time: how do we steward architecture that was never meant to be ordinary?

A rare early residence by Frank Gehry has changed hands in Thousand Oaks, California, ending nearly four decades of ownership by original client Mark Peterson. Completed in 1988, the Sirmai-Peterson House captures a pivotal moment in Gehry’s domestic work, translating his interest in fragmentation and formal autonomy into a secluded hillside residence composed as a loose cluster of individual volumes rather than a singular house.
Organized around a central courtyard, the 4,512-square-foot project requires occupants to move through exterior space between rooms, reinforcing a close relationship to the oak-covered site. Materials remain characteristically restrained — stucco, galvanized metal, concrete block, exposed framing, and unfinished interiors — giving the house the experimental edge associated with Gehry’s residential work of the 1980s.

John Lautner’s Jacobsen House, 1948
Perched lightly on its site, the Jacobsen House distills Lautner’s enduring pursuit of freedom in form and space. Structure dissolves into landscape as glass, wood, and concrete extend outward, framing the horizon while grounding the home in its terrain.
Here, architecture is not imposed, but revealed, an orchestration of light, material, and geometry that blurs the boundary between shelter and nature.

Set within Crestwood Hills, the Gelb House reads as a disciplined response to postwar housing—architecture reduced to its necessary elements and tuned for daily life.
Completed in 1950, the composition is exacting. A post-and-beam framework establishes order and legibility, allowing light, structure, and material to operate without distraction. Proportion governs everything.
The sequence is carefully controlled—an understated entry gives way to an open living volume, where interior space extends outward and remains in constant dialogue with the site. Ridge skylights introduce an even, calibrated light, setting a steady rhythm across the day.
What distinguishes the house is not just its clarity, but its continuity. Held by a single family for decades, the original intent remains intact. The recent work by Bruce Norelius Studio is measured and precise—an act of stewardship rather than revision.
In a landscape where mid-century is often reduced to image, the Gelb House holds to first principles—clear, restrained, and exact.

Hidden away on a leafy estate in Thousand Oaks, north-west of Los Angeles, the Sirmai-Peterson house by Frank Gehry and Greg Walsh emerges as a cluster of cubes with a towering lantern, set against softly rolling terrain and reflected in a tranquil pond.
Created in the mid 1980s, the house is defined by a basic material palette of concrete blocks, stucco and Douglas fir, with accents of galvanised aluminium, a quiet counterpoint to its picturesque neighbours. Set on a gentle slope, steps lead down to a spacious living room and on to a second-bedroom pavilion, while expansive windows frame oaks and olive trees, letting light filter in from above.
Through its shifting geometry, the plan unfolds as a cinematic experience of changing perspectives, where each room feels like a little house in itself, revealing a complexity that continues to surprise.
Little noticed when new, and long overshadowed by later masterpieces, the house, which recently changed hands through @thevalueofarchitecture, now takes its place within the rich legacy of modernism in southern California.

Through its shifting geometry, the plan unfolds as a cinematic experience of changing perspectives, where each room feels like a little house in itself, revealing a complexity that continues to surprise.
Little noticed when new, and long overshadowed by later masterpieces, the house, which recently changed hands through @thevalueofarchitecture, now takes its place within the rich legacy of modernism in southern California.

Hidden away on a leafy estate in Thousand Oaks, north-west of Los Angeles, the Sirmai-Peterson house by Frank Gehry and Greg Walsh emerges as a cluster of cubes with a towering lantern, set against softly rolling terrain and reflected in a tranquil pond.

Set within Crestwood Hills, the Gelb House articulates a disciplined vision of postwar living—where architecture is reduced to structure, proportion, and light, and nothing more.
Completed in 1950, the composition is exacting but unforced. A clear post-and-beam framework orders the plan, allowing Douglas fir, concrete block, and redwood to register with quiet precision. There is no applied gesture—only the inherent logic of materials doing their work.
The sequence unfolds with intention. A modest entry gives way to an expanded living volume, where the ceiling lifts and the landscape becomes continuous with the interior. Light enters from above along the ridge, evenly dispersed, shaping space without dramatics.
Its durability lies in the persistence of that original discipline. Held by one family for generations, the house avoided dilution. The restoration by Bruce Norelius Studio is measured and exact—less an update than a continuation of the same architectural thinking.
