For the manageable sum of $7, you can visit R.M. Schindler’s West Hollywood studio-residence. Or for $5,000 a month, you can live in one of his houses.
Up for lease: Buck Residence, Schindler’s 1934 gem at the corner of Genesee and 8th Street. The property retains much of its original character, and includes two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an open living room, sliding glass walls, clerestory windows and interior partitions...
According to Los Angeles: An Architectural Guide: “All privacy on the exterior with just a touch of Streamline Moderne. The interior spaces open through great panels of glass in the south garden area. One of Schindler’s finest houses.”
I can attest to the house’s near-miraculous privacy. Every time I’ve driven by, I’ve tried to peek in the windows, with no success.
