This stunning Architectural homes is known as the Sowden House and is known as one of Lloyd Wright’s most important works. The home is located in the popular LA neighborhood known as Los Feliz, and reflects Wright’s philosophies as a landscape architect. Lloyd Wright is the son of famous architect Frank Lloyd Wright who has also designed some incredible Architecture around Los Angeles.

The home’s unique style features an extensive use of textile block creating the iconic Mayan style façade. The windowless main entrance lies below a canted cyclopean mass of zigzag rock that hangs like the roof of some antediluvian cave. After climbing a dark stairway, the home’s stylings change a bit and offer a high, airy living space surrounding a long outdoor courtyard lined with columns – a subtle, but appreciated change from the entryway. The weathered wave-motifs and twining vines play on the consistent theme throughout the home and property.

This large hillside estate is known as the Shapoory House, and was constructed by architect Amir Farr in 1972. Farr was a colleague of Oscar Niemeyer – the architect of Brasilia and co-architect of the United Nations buildings. He chose this 0.6-acre terrace connected to Griffith Park to construct this unique view home. The central idea behind the home’s design was to connect the idea of the ancient temple with Modernism.

The architect used a mixture of steel, concrete, glass, and red-brick to give the home that modern temple feel. The grand archways at the entry showcase that temple-inspired idea. The home also has a recessed arcade overlooking the pool, plaza and views. The interior of the home showcases that grand scale as well – making the home open and airy.
