Architecture

Homes by the Masters of California Modernism

Neutra, Schindler, Lautner, Eichler and more: their homes on the market now, and the stories behind them.

The Architects

The Architects Who Shaped How California Lives

From the Lovell Beach House in Newport Beach to the Eichlers of Orange, the Cliff May Ranchos and the Case Study Houses of Long Beach and Los Angeles, these architects defined modern living on this coast. Each page covers the architect’s story, signature features and landmark work, along with every home on the market today whose listing credits them.

Buying an Architect-Designed Home

A significant modern house is bought differently from a typical home. Its value rests on its design and history as much as its square footage, and the questions that matter are about original drawings, past alterations, landmark status and whether the home qualifies for the Mills Act, which can reduce property taxes in exchange for preservation.

Listings here are found by the architect’s name in the listing description. Attribution comes from the listing agent and has not been independently verified. Kyle can help you confirm a home’s history through permits, archives and original plans before you write an offer.
