i liked the tichler house by schindler. impt, maybe not? but significant because tichler himself lived there for so long. may still. he was there in '04.
regis/[something] house roto did over by their office. also don't know if it's impt, but significant in its adaptive reuse of an industrial building and reuse of found materials.
morphosis' (when rotondi was still there) crawford house made a pretty big splash, as did their alley houses back in the early 80s.
gehry's own house, but also the norton house in venice.
What about Lautner??? His imaginative and daring houses define LA residential architecture just as much if not more than the previously mentioned architects.
I am a bid fan of the MIllard house which has a water element lacking in the other Wright textile block houses. Is it more important because of that? Or because of its small size? I think it's like a jewel box. In some respects more like Sullivan's banks that his other houses.
yeah. forgetting lautner was just stupid on my part. those of his i saw were great. but i don't remember house names. there's one up in the hills kind of sitting out on a promontory (not too far from the chemosphere, which i wouldn't count) that was very good. wolfe, maybe?
Lautner's Goldstein house. It’s important, not just for the name but for our fascination we have with glass in LA. So much of life is experienced looking out the window of our cars and offices, and what a play with glass he did with this home.
The Mak Center is having a tour of a hand full of significant homes on Oct. 1
Sheats/ Goldstein House- Lautner
Chemosphere- Lautner
Lovell Beach House (if we can go as far South as Newport Beach)- Schindler
Oliver House- Schindler
Ennis Brown House- Wright
Lovell Health House- Neutra
Case Study #8- Eames House
Case Study #16- Craig Ellwood
Case Study # 22/ Stahl House- Pierre Koenig
The Modernique Homes in the Mar Vista Tract- Gregory Ain and Garrett Eckbo(landscape & planning); an excellent example of modernist architecture at a small scale and for the middle class; coupled with pro-social community planning
alternates:
Wolfe House- Schindler (Catalina Island, demolished)
Hollyhock House –Wright (but really Schindler)
but I think a better discussion would be on the diversity of important residential typologies (like the hillside houses on stilts off of Beverly Glen- progeny of Neutra’s disavowed “Deck Houses�)
||||, the glass in the Goldstein House is interesting because it was originally designed to be completely open under the waffle roof. For obvious reasons, he added glass into the design....

Sorry, but "architecturally designed"?????
What makes them important?

I dunno.

I like the Lautner house with the pointy bedroom :-)
His circular one is pretty significant, although I never cared for it.

Lautner's Silvertop in Silverlake
