A house tour of Richard Neutra's Sinay House  

Thanks for the link. Neutra...
Thanks for the link. Neutra is by far my fav architect - have many of his books.

My favorite architect as...
My favorite architect as well. Thanks.

Nice house (of course)...
But her business partner's former and current houses are the real attention-getters.

From top to bottom: John Lautner's Harpel House, Richard Neutra's Sten-Frenke Residence, and Pierre Koenig's Case Study #21.

Thanks for the link, I love Neutras work.
I know it`s a matter of personal taste but am I the only one thinking that if I had that house with their budget I would have furnished it to standard that meets the architecture. To me it just looks a bit underwhelming and bland.

I too love Neutra...great house!
I think the furnishings are just fine, very simple and rustic. Kind of an interesting counterpoint to the architecture.
As an interesting side note...a friend of our out here knows Neutra's grandson. Turns out he is utterly uninterested in his grandfather's work or in architecture in general...so I guess the 'design addict' gene isn't necessarily inheritable!

Threw up in my mouth a bit watching that video...
Then I found the mute button...

I Pre-empted That
and turned off the sound on my laptop before opening 😉

Me too...
a bit pretentious, no?

Emphasis, obviously
Was not on the house or furnishings... Would have been nice to see more of that.
At least it wasn't MTV Cribs.

Some more good documentaries on designers, houses, architecture, ... would be nice.
The really serious ones are sometimes very slow and boring.
While this one on fashioanr.com is obviously is more about the person not her house.

Great house--
but yes, house tours always remind me of a piece featured in one of my old National Lampoons:
The Young Adorables
Introducing Anthony and Alison Adorable,
the most beautiful
of the Beautiful People.
Though there are many who have looks, ability, and style, only Anthony and Alison Adorable possess these qualities in the rare combination that emerges as genius. They are the beautiful ones... the doers... whose pursuits are as limitless as their ferocious talents and energies. Eternally young... frankly sensual.... delightfully spontaneous and warm... yet possessing an inner noblesse that commands respect, if not outright devotion.
In New York... the season begins in the home of Anthony and Alison Adorable, a Manhattan townhouse they converted into a rambling country barn.
Treasures everywhere: in a corner, a d'amboisserie, the French country version of an ox cart, here painted fake blue and used as a dust collector... a bust of Tony by Sir Joshua Roth... the bronze "Small Boy Biting his Nails" by Tontino... a delightful turn-of-the-century pot-bellied uncle the Adorables use as a plant holder.
In a rare Speichen vase a bunch of celery and soup greens may be soaking blissfully.... while a set of red velvet skull caps, once worn by Cardinal Richelieu, may be used to dry them... on the twelfth-century Welsh mantle Tony's priceless collection of broken glass and wood stands diffidently next to a plastic catsup dispenser won in a pokerino game at the penny arcade.
Sofas are made of laminated chocolate with almonds to give them a rough textured, pebbly look.... chairs and tables of sugarless chewing gum stretched over frames of balsa wood, patterned after movie-style breakaway furniture.
On the floor: an eighteenth-century newspaper once used to cover the newly waxed floors of the London townhouse of Lord Brushburn.
In a corner: hundreds of men's socks in every imaginable style and color. Alison is studying Timori-Tatsu, the ancient Japanese art of decorative sock folding....

A bit surprised that the Adorables don't own any pieces by di Frutta.

.
Anthony heads up philanthropic projects such as buying wigs for poor Spanish peasant girls who must sell their hair for wigs, but his foundation took a merciless hit with the recent financial crisis.
Alas, the early di Fruttas were sold. Regrettable but necessary.
