Pacific Palisades, CA
The Eames House is a landmark of mid-20th century modern architecture located at 203 North Chautauqua Boulevard in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Los Angeles. It was constructed in 1949, by husband-and-wife design pioneers Charles and Ray Eames, to serve as their home and studio.Design and historyUnusual for such an avant-garde design, the Eames Case Study No. 8 house was a thoroughly lived-in, usable, and well-loved home. Many icons of the modern movement are depicted as stark, barren spaces devoid of human use, but photographs and motion pictures of the Eames house reveal a richly decorated, almost cluttered space full of thousands of books, art objects, artifacts, and charming knick-knacks as well as dozens of projects in various states of completion. The Eames' gracious live-work lifestyle continues to be an influential model.The design of the house was proposed by Charles and Ray as part of the famous Case Study House program for John Entenza's Arts & Architecture magazine. The idea of a Case Study house was to hypothesize a modern household, elaborate its functional requirements, have an esteemed architect develop a design that met those requirements using modern materials and construction processes, and then to actually build the home. The houses were documented before, during and after construction for publication in Arts & Architecture. The Eames' proposal for the Case Study House No. 8 reflected their own household and their own needs; a young married couple wanting a place to live, work and entertain in one undemanding setting in harmony with the site.

The Sovereign is a large five-story, 130 unit apartment building in Santa Monica, California, USA. Built in 1928, it was designed by architect Kurt Meyer-Radon and the Anglo American Building Company in the Mission Revival-Spanish Colonial Revival styles. The building contains primarily single apartments and one bedroom apartments, many of which are currently under rent control. In the 1930s, the Sovereign’s operation appears to have transitioned to include a more traditional hotel format with the construction of the small wing that may have contained a dining room. The street level sign identifying the building as the “Sovereign Hotel” also dates from this era.

Frank Langen.... opened the doors to gallery g-169 in the summer of 2008. The gallery focuses on exhibiting photographs of established and emerging artists often drawing from the rich reservoir of residents associated with the galleries location, the Santa Monica Canyon. In a short time the gallery has become a setting for many attendees, not only local but from afar, to pause, relate and share some moments together. Because of the advancement of technology, the gallery has been successful in bringing together like-minded individuals who are all part of the human fabric. The experience of befriending the artists and sharing their inspirations and points of view in this beautiful setting has been inspiring. Recently a talented young artist described the gallery as the “cultural generator” of the Santa Monica Canyon. It made me proud. The gallery is housed in a building designed by James Tyler, FAIA on the edge of the Pacific.
