About
Built by Viennese-American architect Richard Neutra with a no-interest loan from Dutch philanthropist Dr. C.H. Van Der Leeuw, this experimental "glass house" was designed to accommodate his office and two families on a small lot. After a fire, Richard and his son Dion redesigned the main house, applying their learned principles of sun louvers, water roofs, and "nature-near" design.
