Around the corner is Neutra Place, lined with a cluster of his houses. Silver Lake still has one of the densest concentrations of his work anywhere.

Neutra designed the interior down to the furniture: built-in banquettes, bookshelves running under the window line and a bent-plywood lounger. The house and everything in it was drawn as one system.

The ikebana artists spent months studying the house before building anything. Split bamboo, banksia and wire armatures went into pieces made for these rooms and nowhere else.

In 1932 the typical LA house was a stucco box under a tile roof. Neutra built in steel and glass, then put reflecting pools on the roof to pull Silver Lake up onto the house.

Richard Neutra's VDL House in Silver Lake. It was his home, his studio and his prototype, an architect living full-time inside his own experiment. This month it hosted an ikebana show, with each piece researched and built over months for these rooms.

I have a great collection of really bad, really good photographs - Shots I couldn't resist, but had a lousy camera (pre-iphone). This was an irresistible moment that I blew, but thanks to gen ai and some digital wizardry...I resurrected the badly blown... This is - Hays Valley Hang and in my mind they are still sitting there. #haysvalle #humanart by @bob.olini

The city writes over itself and calls it a surface. Nothing here is erased — only outvoted.
