Jose Rodriguez House Design by Rudolph M. Schindler

Home » Contemporary House Design » Jose Rodriguez House Design by Rudolph M. Schindler

The Rodriguez House has been home to musicians, artists, writers, and filmmakers drawn to its peaceful setting and dynamic architecture. For over three decades, the living room, often described as a rotating cube frozen in time and space, served as a venue for classical music concerts.

In 1941, R.M. Schindler was hired to build a home for writer/composer Jose Rodriguez and his growing family on a spectacular double lot in Verdugo Woodlands. He envisioned a home in which the gardens would sweep up, around, and through the house, ingeniously accomplished by a floating bedroom wing built to span the sun and shade gardens.

This architectural masterpiece, one of the best preserved examples of Schindler’s work, has been restored and sensitively upgraded with the finest materials. The home’s eight ceiling heights, clerestory windows, complex geometries, and two modernist fireplaces make it as eminently liveable now as it was in 1941.
