Rudolph M. Schindler for Rent in Los Angeles
We're beyond thrilled to present two very special additions to the Boutique-Homes.com collection of modern vacation rentals for chic nomads. Both of these properties are located in Los Angeles (our home!) and both were designed by none other than Rudolph M. Schindler, pre-eminent 20th century architect who's responsible for some of the city's modernist masterpieces–and two of them are for rent on our website!

Fitzpatrick-Leland House, Laurel Canyon (1936)
The first is the Fitzpatrick-Leland House, a secluded property perched at the top of Laurel Canyon. It features the best of modernist design in its seamlessly interlocking indoor-outdoor spaces, clean lines, and large windows.

Originally set up as a retreat for artists and architects in residence, the house is now available for short-term rental through Boutique-Homes.com. It accomodates up for 4 in 2 bedrooms (one bedroom can be converted into an office for the business traveler) and rents from $380 per night. Book now.
Mackey Penthouse, Los Angeles (1939)
Right in the heart of Los Angeles (the intersection of Olympic and La Brea, for those in the know) are the Mackey Apartments, a 1939 design by Schindler. The 2-floor Penthouse is the largest of these apartments and is available for savvy travelers who want to stay in a great design.
Great architectural details such as a cantilevered dining mezzanine on the 2nd floor, a fully furnished bedroom with built ins, and wonderful views of the city are all present. Mackey Penthouse can accommodate 2 people for $220 per night. Book now.

I used to live near the Mackey Apartments and these 2 paltry images don’t do it justice. The kitchen and dining area sit loft like above the living space with direct access to a nice big roof deck. Schindler was definitely the most fun and adventurous of the early LA modernists. Anyone staying in either of these places really owes it to themselves to go see Schindlers own Kings Road House in West Hollywood, just a few miles north.
If you’re interested in further architectural exploration, the book, An Architectural Guidebook to Los Angeles, will keep you busy for as long as you care to stay in Los Angeles with plenty of great architecture to see for many return trips. I kept it in my car for 8 years and finally moved away having only seen a fraction of what the city has to offer.
