A registered Historic-Cultural Monument, the Silver Lake How House designed by Rudolph M. Schindler in 1925 has two separate geometric parts: the upper portion is constructed of redwood and the lower portion is constructed of slab-cast concrete scored to match the pattern of the redwood portion. Renovated in 2004 by Jeff Fink, the angular abode features a garden designed by architect Richard Neutra and many built-ins and unique pieces of furniture. A student of Frank Lloyd Wright, Rudolph Schindler was among the first wave of modern architects to make their names in America. Best known for his exploration of three-dimensional space, this early-20th century architect designed over 400 projects, most of which are in Southern California. Check it out.

Influential Southern-California architects Gregory Ain and Pierre Koenig both made their mark on this funky mid-century home in Los Angeles. Priced at just below $2 million, this 16,850 square foot lot features a main house designed by Ain in 1952, and a recently-built Koenig-designed steel beamed guesthouse—one of his last projects. We love the use of the sliding glass walls and clerestory windows. The icing on the cake? A bright red door against soft grey exterior hues.

Houston homebuyers are in for a treat: Frank Lloyd Wright’s sole Houston home is on the market. This geometric godsend features a windowless front wall, tall panes of glass in back, and Usonian bricks. Wright’s 1954 original design was a parallelogram, aiming for no right angles (until a previous owner added Ionic columns). Originally 1,800 square feet, the Bunker Hill Village Usonian design has been expanded to an 8,000 plus square foot home with 6 bedrooms and 7.5 baths. The expansion was built around an outdoor center courtyard, featuring a swimming pool and plenty of outdoor living space. And possessing a recently-reduced price tag of $2.9 million, this one isn’t too out of reach. Interested? Check out the listing.
