What's the vibe
A mid-century modernist masterpiece, the VDL House feels like an experiment in living, with sweeping windows and built-in features creating an expansive feel even within a limited footprint. The architect's intent was to create a sense of calm and quiet, relating design to nature through light and views.ambiance

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.story
