"R.M. Schindler’s 1920’s home is the headquarters for this Art & Architecture Center. There are exhibitions and events throughout the year, but the main pull is visiting the house that Schindler designed as a communal live/work space. It’s an icon of modern design."

An architectural and cultural landmark. The Schindler house has no traditional facade. You can experience the house only by moving through space.

While I don't doubt the architectural significance of this quite unique house, it seems to be not very well maintained. Additionally, there is very little information on the property, save for a brochure that is available at the admissions counter. I'm glad to have visited, but really don't see much point in returning or even recommending to others to put it on their "must visit" list in LA. Street parking is pretty ample and available either directly in front of or within a block or 2 radius of the house, so don't let that be a deterrent to visiting if you are really interested in seeing this.

I don’t know why ceiling is so low. Entire space is inspiring, a lot of details you can enjoy. Furniture is beautiful. Outdoor space is quite calming.

This is Rudolf Schindler's house on King Street. It is closed due to an ongoing renovation. The roof seems to be redone, and it illustrates that how low the ceiling is inside the house. Interestingly, we ran into Sandra Ng and Peter Chan on the way out; they probably live just across the street from the King Road House.

A really lovely architectural gem in a residential neighborhood. A unique layout makes for a truly fascinating home with a sensitive relationship to the gardens.

A wonderful example of early Los Angeles experimental architecture, R. M. Schindler's home and studio is a modern, minimal, and heartwarming specimen that is both historic and yet futuristic at once. It's small, but worth the trip for any true lovers of Schindler, Wright, etc. or modernist Organic Architecture. From the tilt slab concrete to the redwood roof surrounded by beautiful courtyards and gardens right in the heart of West Hollywood, this is a place to appreciate the thoughtfulness and creativity exhibited in the tiniest of details, as well as the overall composition. Helpful docents and a cute little book/gift shop.

Smaller than I thought, and I thought someone will do the introduction to me but there were only recorded audio. And it cost $8 per person. Their website actually has more info about the building.
