Lloyd Wright might be slightly less famous than his father, Frank Lloyd Wright, but his residential Californian modern designs are just as prized, and this 1948 property is a prime example.
The Gainsburg Residence is located in Los Angeles’ leafy La Cañada Flintridge, and Lloyd Wright designed the four-bedroom property for pharmacist Emmanuel Gainsburg and his family in a Usonian-inspired style.
The single-storey home is built in redwood stone, concrete, and glass. Its breezy open-plan layout is marked by horizontal lines, ribbed concrete walls, and huge glass panes framing views of mountains. In the 2000s, Corsini Stark Architects sensitively refurbbed it to polish its midcentury bones and re-landscape its expansive 30,000 sq ft gardens. Still, plenty of wood panelling and modernist features can be found across the four-bedroom Los Angeles property, which spans 3,100 sq ft.
Gainsburg House last sold in 2023 for $3.8m, but ‘unfortunately, the seller’s career plans changed, and they never got to move in,’ listing agent Heather Scherbert of Coldwell Banker told Yahoo. Now, the midcentury home is back on the market at an asking price of $3.595m.
