RUDOLF (aka RUDOLPH) MICHAEL SCHINDLER (1887-1953)

Schindler was born to a middle class family in Vienna, Austria. He attended the Imperial and Royal High School from 1899 to 1906 then enrolled in the Wagnersschule of Vienna Polytechnic University, graduating in 1911 with a degree in architecture. Schindler worked for Hans and Theodore Mayer from 1911 to 1914. While at a concert in Vienna, he met future colleague Richard Neutra. Encouraged by fellow Austrian architect Adolph Loos, Schindler moved to Chicago in 1914 to work for Ottenheimer Stern and Reichert. In 1916, he delivered 12 elaborate lectures at the Church School of Design in Chicago which became known as the Schindler Program, his central design philosophy.

Schindler always wanted to work for Frank Lloyd Wright and in late 1918 Wright hired him. After Wright obtained the commission for the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, a major project that involved Wright being in Japan for several years, Schindler was promoted to run Wright's American operations out of the Oak Park IL studio. In 1919, Schindler married Pauline Gibling (1893-1977) and in 1920 Wright sent Schindler west to Los Angeles to work on the Aline Barnsdall House. Beyond his job for Wright, Schindler started his own independent practice in 1922. Schindler and Wright argued frequently and eventually Schindler quit.

He became a huge success in Los Angeles. Known as Michael, never Mike, he and Pauline hosted many events at their Kings Road house, itself a model of architectural brilliance (and still there, you can visit). The Schindlers hung out with the era's celebrities in art, sculpture, design, and dance. They had one son, Mark, in 1922.

Schindler had a wild nature and engaged a number of affairs, including with the wife of his client Phillip Lovell, and the couple divorced in the 1930s but continued to live separately in the King's Road house. After Schindler's death, Pauline Schindler stayed there until her own death in 1977. Schindler's great-grandson Guillaume was as of 2017 a docent at the King's Road house.

Richard Neutra worked for Wright in 1924 at Taliesin East but left after a few months to work in California with Schindler. Neutra and his wife lived at King's Road with Schindlers for several years. Their firm was called Schindler and Neutra. Philip Johnson famously rejected Schindler for the 1932 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art thinking Schindler was outside the International Style. Schindler responded by rejecting the categorizing of his designs as part of any style. Schindler and Neutra's relationship began to unravel and the Neutras moved out. They rarely interacted after that. When Neutra had a heart attack in 1953, he found himself in the same Cedars Sinai hospital room as Schindler who was dying of cancer. They made peace before Schindler died.

His only church design, the 1945 Bethlehem Baptist Church in Los Angeles, 4901 South Compton, was abandoned for years in South Los Angeles. Faith Build International restored it as an active church in 2014; it later became the Optima Funeral Home. Photos by Michael Locke.

She married before WWI and that husband died very soon after son Allen was born. She met Leepa, a watercolorist from Latvia, they were together several years, then married, and Allen took his name. In her circles of artists she got to know Richard Neutra as well as Schindler. After her marriage to Leepa dissolved, she was involved in an affair with a man that she married later, with whom she had twins.

1926 - The Philip and Leah Lovell Beach House, 1242 West Oceanfront, Newport Beach CA. Commissioned in 1922; several schemes. Alterations in 1947. Transferred to Gary Lovell and his wife, Bobby.

Now considered one of Schindler's masterworks, the building had problems with budget overruns and leaking, and despite Lovell's liberalism in regard to sexual expression, Lovell resented the notoriously libertine architect's infatuation with his wife, Leah. As a result, in 1929 Lovell chose Richard Neutra to design a house for him in the city, the Lovell Health House in Los Feliz. The choice of Neutra over Schindler marked a turning point in the architects' careers, with Schindler thereafter relegated to small residential commissions while Neutra went on to regional and international fame as one of the major contributors to the International style.

The 2014 owner believed that the Schindler renovation as drawn was never built. When they moved into the house in the early 1970s, they did renovations, and added a south facing enclosed entry porch, somewhat similar to what is shown in the Schindler drawing.

1934 - The William E. and Stephanie Oliver House, 2236 Micheltorena Street, Los Angeles CA. Commissioned in 1931. Top photo is an early draft; the house was reduced in size when finally built. Featured in the 1938 Book of Small Houses. The ambiguous, hybrid nature of the Oliver House is unique in Schindler's oeuvre, illustrating the architect's ability to simultaneously express and resolve the tension between contradictory design intentions. Located in the exclusive upper terraces of the hills surrounding Silver Lake, the L-shaped house is built on the hilltop, with the garage below at the street level. The living area is organized in one wing, and the bedrooms are in the other. The children’s quarters can be reached by an outdoor porch from the parent's bedroom. Another room was planned above the children's but was never built. Instead, a roof terrace, accessible by an outdoor stair, provides spectacular views of the surroundings. The most unusual aspect of the house is the roof design; the street façade presents a skillfully articulated Modernist box, seemingly covered with a flat roof, while in reality, a gable roof is revealed on the patio elevation and floats above the house like an umbrella. This kind of ambiguity, which would have been denounced as an anathema by the tenants of modern architecture in Europe, is used by Schindler to create an element of surprise. While the roof, its complex shape reinforces the sense of spatial continuity throughout the interior space, providing a sculptural quality to the rooms.

1936 - The Ralph G. Walker House, 2100 Kenilworth Avenue, Los Angeles CA. Commissioned in 1935. Renovated in 1939 and 1941; restored by architect and contractor Jeff Fink in 1994-1995. Schindler designed the house in a downslope cascade to take maximum advantage of the hillside view. A row of eight piers elevates the volume while creating a porch underneath. Typical of Schindler's downhill designs, the street elevation is kept low while the house expands to the maximum on the downhill side and take full advantage of the view. A long clerestory window detaches the roof plane from the volumes housing the garage and the maid's quarters on the street side. Shielded behind them, the main living area, organized around a core formed by the fireplace and the kitchen, is fully open onto the view; the bedrooms and a playroom occupy the lower level. The location of the stairs along a large window on the side façade makes one constantly aware of living on a steep slope. This feeling is reinforced by the sloping ceiling of the living room and its complex geometry, which follows the topography of the hillside. The roof canopy is further lifted from the wall, allowing clerestory light into the space. The architectural base of the building is one if its best-known features. A row of eight concrete columns elevates the volume of the house while creating a porch underneath it. The trellis, cantilevering from the structure, expands to the side to become an overhanging balcony for one of the bedrooms. Views are framed in sensitive ways, giving each room a different relationship to the outside - some open widely onto outdoor terraces while other are intensively closed, barely lit by clerestory light.

1938 - The Mildred Southall Studio and House, 1855 Park Drive, Los Angeles CA. Restored by architect and contractor Jeff Fink in 2002. Built for $6,000, Southall House is Schindler's first house to be constructed completely from plywood to fit within the budget of a music teacher, Mildred Southall. The home's blueprint is a series of overlapping rectangles that project out from the south at a 45-degree angle. There are two front doors, one used for piano students, and one used for Ms. Southall and her guests. Sliding partitions between the main bedroom, the living space and the dining room reformat the space based on the need and reflect Schindler's notion that space is formed through materials. Ms. Southall's relationship to music is echoed in the design of the house as a separate studio provided space for her to run classes. Ms. Southall is assumed to have synesthesia, a perception phenomenon where sound can evoke an experience of color. The house is painted a particular shade of green which, to her, reflected an E-minor chord. Text from the MAK Architecture Tour 2022/Echo Park + Silver Lake, December 18, 2022.

1939 - The Guy C. and Lisse J. Wilson House, 2090 Redcliff Street, Los Angeles CA. Before several remodels by Schindler, the facade was originally symmetrical and rested on a base that extended to the north side of the hill. This orientation provided a space for the terrace on the sloping side of the hill. Schindler's manipulation of each section resulted in a floor projecting out beyond each successive floor, creating a triple-cantilevered facade that culminates with a dynamic tapered roof plane, suggesting a sense of motion toward the view. The intimate relationship between the house and landscape is a direct result of the interplay between the structure and the characteristics of the site. A secret garden passageway links the house to Kenilworth Avenue on the downslope and the neighboring Schindler-designed Walker House. Sold to Ken Reiner (who commissioned John Lautner's Silvertop). Deck addition by Schindler. Another addition, not by Schindler. Sold to architect Donald Hensmen. Sold in 1972 to architect Bernard Zimmerman. The house was designated a Los Angeles Historic-Cultural Monument (No. 965) in 2009. Sold in 1977. Sold in 2005 to Noah Baylin. Top photo by Wayne Andrews/ESTO; other photos by Michael Locke.

Wilson was a noted architectural historian; he commissioned Schindler to design the in 1939. Many notable individuals later owned or occupied the house, including Ken Reiner, who later commissioned John Lautner's Silver Top; Bernard Zimmerman, a founding member of Southern California Institute of Architecture; Donald C. Hensman, USC School of Architecture professor and principal architect at the firm Buff, Straub, Smith and Hensman and more recently, Connie Butler, chief curator at the Hammer Museum.

1944 - The W. A. Starkey Remodel, 2323 Merrywood Drive, Los Angeles CA. Originally built in the 1930s. Remodeled after a 1940s fire which burned down most of the neighborhood, including the 2nd floor of this house. Schindler remodeled the surviving ground floor. It is assumed the second floor contained the bedrooms, and Schindler rearranged the first floor to include two bedrooms. The former second story is now a sun deck. Schindler also designed and built a wonderful two-car garage which was removed in the late 1990s.

In the 1950s the Black musician Leadbelly rented a room from the owner despite racial restrictions in certain areas. There is an article from the L.A. Times describing the restrictions and how the owner and their "negro tenant Mr. Leadbetter" managed to escape them. Sold to Yoram Kahana. Has been a rental for several years.

A native of Manchester, England, Compinsky emigrated to the United States in the 1920s and with his sister, Sara, a pianist, and brother, Alec, a cellist.

From Wikipedia: McCoy was an internationally known architecture author and critic. During WWII, she worked as a draftsman for Schindler after being discouraged from applying to USC's architecture school due to her age and gender. From 1950 until her death in 1989, McCoy was a frequent contributor to Arts & Architecture, Architectural Forum, Architectural Record, Progressive Architecture, L'Architectura, Lotus, the Los Angeles Times, and the Los Angeles Herald-Examiner.

Her first major book, published in 1960, was Five California Architects, highlighting pioneer California Modernists Charles and Henry Greene, Irving Gill, Bernard Maybeck, and Schindler. She wrote more books about the Case Study Houses, Richard Neutra, and Craig Ellwood, among others.
