The Stahl House (Case Study #22)
The Stahl House, also known as Case Study House #22, stands as one of the most iconic examples of mid-century modern architecture in the world. Perched high in the Hollywood Hills, this architectural masterpiece is not only a testament to innovative design but also a cultural landmark that continues to inspire architects, designers, and enthusiasts of modernism.
Designed by Pierre Koenig in 1959 as part of the Case Study House Program, the Stahl House’s use of steel and glass redefined residential architecture, demonstrating how modern materials could create structures that were both functional and breathtaking.
“If you don’t know the Stahl house, then you don’t know mid-century modern architecture.”
The Bailey House (Case Study House #21)
The Bailey House (Case Study #21)
Koenig's approach to the Bailey House was both bold and pragmatic. The home’s structure relies on a prefabricated steel frame, a hallmark of Koenig’s architectural style. This material choice not only allowed for rapid construction but also highlighted the beauty of raw, unadorned materials—a defining characteristic of mid-century modernism.
