Ellwood’s Moore House
The fourth stop on the MAK Architecture tour was Ellwood’s Moore House – my favorite on the tour that was not called the How House. The walk up from Bonvue Avenue to the house is like walking into another world. Before you see the house you see one of many outdoor seating areas – a hint of what’s to come.
Hidden amongst trees and plants lies the house: a three-bedroom, two-bathroom structure enclosed by glass windows. The living room features through views from the entry to the backyard and surrounding rustic setting. Basically the house is one big glass rectangle. In a word: amazing.
Take a look at the living to get an idea of just how this modern masterpiece is laid out:
MAK Center Architecture Tour: Silverlake/Los Feliz Mid-Century Modernism
There’s a great architectural tour coming up that I’ll be attending in Los Angeles that I’m very excited about. The MAK Center’s fall tour features some amazing homes for the public to explore (such as Schindler’s How House above).
The tour focuses on seven homes in the Silver Lake and Los Feliz neighborhoods and features architects such as Gregory Ain, Raphael Soriano and Craig Ellwood. Aside from the How House, which is the main attraction, other highlights include Ain’s Avenel Cooperative project in Silver Lake, Schindler’s McAlmon House and Ellwood’s Moore House in Los Feliz.
The tour takes place Sunday, October 4th and tickets are $75 ($65 for students and Friends of the Schinderl House). Click here for more info. See you there!
