The Scott House by Pierre Koenig at 10300 Haines Canyon in Tujunga

10300 Haines Canyon Avenue , Tujunga ,CA 91042
MLS#: 11-550643 | 2bd, 2ba
Offered at $585,000

We’d showcased earlier this year a Gregory Ain – Pierre Koenig collaboration in the Los Feliz Oaks. New on the market is Pierre Koenig’s ‘Scott House’, one of his earlier mid-century works in Tujunga. A San Francisco native, Koenig was known for use of exposed steel-and-glass in buildings and centered most of his work on the West Coast.

Built in 1956, the house is 1429 square feet and sits on a 21,250 square foot lot set against the foothills of the Angeles National Forest. The project predates his work for the Case Study program and bears a resemblance to the iconic Stahl House at 1635 Woods Drive in Hollywood Hills (Case Study House #22). (more…)

One day I hope to see it in person; it is definitely on my bucket list.

Fallingwater, built as a vacation home for the Kaufmann family between 1936-1939 is located in rural Pennsylvania, 50 miles southeast of Pittsburgh. Now a national Historic Landmark, it made its way to the cover of Time magazine in 1938 and gets its name as it is cantilevered over a 30’ waterfall. (more…)
