The American Institute of Architects (AIA) has selected the Gehry Residence in Santa Monica, California for the 2012 AIA Twenty-five Year Award. [...]
A seemingly ad hoc collection of raw, workmanlike materials wrapped around an unassuming two-story clapboard bungalow, Frank Gehry’s, FAIA, home for his wife, Berta, and two sons found a literal, but unexpected, answer to the question of neighborhood context, and used it to forever re-shape the formal and material boundaries of architecture.

truly original work.
From L.A. Times
I was a student at SCI-Arc when this was built. I worked for another SCI-Arc student Itzak who built the cabs. I remember staying up all night priming the white cabinets that are hung beneath the windows in the interior photo above. We had to install these quickly as there was a photo shoot, I think Domus, later in the day. What i remember best is the interior light quality. Later on I borrowed, er stolen, at least a half dozen ideas from this house. This is a truly original work
