"Something to make an architecture enthusiast's pulse quicken: a compound of two exquisite houses by master architects. A jewel box 1959 modern pavilion by Ricahrd Neutra is complemented by Michael Maltzan's extraordinary 2009 contemporary structure, just as audacious and compellingly modern for its time."
This Richard Neutra and Michael Maltzan dual residence is located 15 miles north of LA at the edge of the Angeles National Forest. The Serenulic Residence built in 1953 and by Neutra, FAIA, was the original home and has an extensive desert garden and outdoor pavilion. The second home, the Pittman/Dowell residence was built five decades later by award winning architect Maltzan, and is a unique 7-sided structure with spectacular views and an interior courtyard.

The Serenulic Residence built in 1953 and by Neutra, FAIA, was the original home and has an extensive desert garden and outdoor pavilion.
