richard neutra’s mid-century modern home in hollywood hills hits the market

richard neutra’s loring house is on sale for $8 million

 

originally built in 1958 by austrian-american architect richard neutra, the loring house in the hollywood hills, california, is now for sale. sitting atop a hillock, neutra’s gem incorporates comfort, luxury, and refined aesthetics. coming with thoughtful additions by escher gunewardena architecture and steven ehrlich, FAIA, the result is informed by the architect’s identity. steeped in vivid modernist touches, such as abundant glazing and built-in details, the interior provides practical comfort for an ultimate experience in luxury living.

an extension to neutra’s gem

 

initially designed for dancer and choreographer eugene loring, neutra’s showpiece belongs to california’s rich architectural heritage. los angeles–based firm escher gunewardena extended the grounds by adding a glass-clad master suite based on the architect’s original plans. meanwhile, a guest house takes shape on the private land, separated from the house. designed by califonia-based architect steven ehrlich, the structure is equipped with a kitchen, lofted quarters, and a generous art studio, capturing breathtaking views through the greenhouse-style windows. overall, each space is imbued with simplicity combined with sleek meticulous elements, optimizing scenic views, and comfort.
