biography | the architect at a glance

Vienna-born modernist R. M. Schindler is perhaps best known for the first pure International Style house built in America, his 1926 Lovell Beach House. After gaining early experience in the office of Frank Lloyd Wright, Schindler began his own practice in California. Designer and builder some of the most innovative buildings of the early 20th Century, Schindler designed the Lovell Beach House for same progressive physician who later commissioned Richard Neutra to design his well known Los Angeles home. The Lovell Beach House consists of a series of five concrete frames that form the main structure. The rhythm of these planes provides a striking composition of forms, and elegantly elevates the main living spaces above the surrounding ground level for a panorama of the ocean beyond.
