Case Study House
The Case Study House program was an initiative in the 1940s and 1950s aimed at designing and constructing affordable, modern homes in Los Angeles. Spearheaded by the Arts & Architecture magazine, it featured innovative designs by prominent architects, including Richard Neutra and Charles Eames. The program sought to explore new materials and construction techniques, reflecting the post-war desire for functional and stylish living spaces.
A total of 36 houses were commissioned, with only a few completed. These homes emphasized open floor plans, large windows, and integration with the surrounding landscape. The Case Study Houses have since become iconic examples of mid-century modern architecture, influencing residential design worldwide.
