Rudolf Schindler designed the low-slung, concrete-and-wood Kings Road House in 1921 as a communal residence for himself and his wife, Pauline, to share with another couple, Marian and Clyde Chace. Each couple would enjoy their own studios, an enclosed patio, a bathroom and a rooftop terrace for sleeping. The shared spaces included the entrance hall, the kitchen, and the many garden areas. After the Chaces moved out after the first year, Richard Neutra and his young family moved in and stayed until 1930. This house is but one of the more than 50 structures of Schindler's that still stand in Los Angeles. Image courtesy Lian Chang/Flickr.
