Case study 22 pierre koenig

Pierre Koenig rationalized Stahl’s original plans, but recently rediscovered photographs of the early models suggest that this is one of those cases where the client deserves credit as a co-designer. Paradoxically, for the most glamorous house in America, it’s all about family. From the street, there’s almost nothing visible.

At the time of writing, Zillow estimates the value of the house as $2,531,800 (or between 2.23 million and 3.11 million), Trulia’s algorithms estimate its value slightly lower than average for a Hollywood property, at $2,237,000, and Realtor guesses $2,042,328. The real value of the house is almost certainly higher, much higher.

Koenig prevented possible erosive actions and seismic events that might damage the structure of the Case Study House 22, encasing the beams with twelve inches of concrete and setting the piers back from five to seven feet from them.

The Case Study house 22 was built on a promontory overlooking the city of Los Angeles and has an L-shaped plan with a structure made of steel and glass. Its minimal design, made this house one of the most iconic Case Study Houses and an example of experimental construction methods.
