A Testament to R.M. Schindler's Concepts of Structural Simplicity and Individuality
Ahead of its time and a visionary testament to R.M. Schindler's modern concepts of structural simplicity and individuality, this apartment remains as relevant and modern today as it was revolutionary in the 1930s. We love the stark beauty, plentiful natural light and modular living spaces.
Located in a residential neighborhood of West Los Angeles and completed by R.M Schindler in 1939, the Mackey Apartments are one of a series of residential projects designed and conceived in the city by the architect in the 1930s. Complex, innovative and unconventional, the compact layout, utilitarian use of built-in furnishings, incorporation of natural light and variable designs characteristics are all hallmarks of Schindler's work.
This penthouse is the largest apartment in the building and is laid out over two floors. The cantilevered dining mezzanine is on the second floor along with a fully equipped kitchen, two bedrooms and a separate study, all with marvelously framed views of the city. In addition to the clever built-ins, the penthouse features some key vintage and signature design pieces that complement Schindler's vision.
The four additional apartments are occupied by participants in the MAK Residency program, where international artists and architects are awarded the chance to come to Los Angeles, live at the Mackey Apartments, and work on projects that engage the city.
This is an important and historic building and a rare example of a carefully curated and preserved piece of living art.
