Property Description
The personal residence and architecture studio of renowned architect Pierre Koenig, FAIA, exemplifies his iconic status in Mid-Century Modernism. Often hailed as the "Rock Star" of this architectural movement, Koenig designed legendary homes such as the Stahl House (Case Study House #22) and the Bailey House (Case Study House #21) two of the most documented modern residences of their time. Historically archived as "Koenig House #2" by the L.A. Conservancy, this steel-and-glass masterpiece offers exceptional privacy with tiered setbacks and hedges leading to a striking 30-foot, three-story vertical atrium. This dramatic space, intersected by landings and staircases, is bathed in natural light from full-height clerestory windows. Meticulously restored in 2024 (see docs) and the upstairs bathrooms, kitchen and pool in 2020, the home features three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a parlor, and a media/family room connected to Koenig's architecture studio, which opens to a magnificent courtyard. True to Koenig's signature open floor plan, the I-beam steel frame defines the living spaces both vertically and horizontally, seamlessly integrating structure and design.This residence stands as a definitive expression of Koenig's architectural vision, embodying the essence of modernist l
