On March 21, 2013   /   Architects, Architecture, Architecture Buildings, Celebrity Homes, Los Feliz, Luxury Real Estate   /   Leave a comment

5121 Franklin Ave
Los Angeles, CA 90027
5 bedrooms, 8 bathrooms
$4,888,000

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.

A ‘Birds Eye’ View for Tyler Perry in Hollywood Hills

On July 11, 2012   /   Architectural, Architecture, Art, Celebrity Homes, Hollywood Hills, Luxury Real Estate, Modern   /   Leave a comment

Owner: Tyler Perry [and probably his alter-ego, Madea] Location: Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, CA
Listing Price: $9,600,000, November 2006
4 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms

This incredible view home is owned by playwright, director, producer, and actor, Tyler Perry. Perry is no stranger to the headlines, but you may or may not recognize him by his real name. Perry’s most famous character is the outspoken yet endearing character, Madea. He is well known for several plays and movies including: Diary of a Mad Black Woman, Daddy’s Little Girls, the award winning movie Precious, and even a guest role in JJ Abrams Star Trek.

Perry hasn’t always been a Hollywood A-lister, but he gets an A+ in our book for this incredible home. The house itself is an architectural masterpiece with incredible Modern style. The house simply oozes with sophistication.  These photos are from when the home was last on the market, so chances are good that Perry has altered the home (at least a little bit) to create the ultimate bachelor pad. Perry also owns several other properties and a Movie Studio in Atlanta, GA.
