Welcome to our weekly property digest, where we bring together the best homes for sale and rent across the world. This week, we have a sculptor’s brutalist live/work space in Lyon and Pierre Koenig’s Santa Monica Schwartz House among our discoveries.
Pierre Koenig’s Schwartz House in Santa Monica
3 bedrooms; 2,380 sq ft; $4,385,000 via The Value of Architecture
Schwartz House was the last completed project of Case Study architect Pierre Koenig, and it’s on the market in Santa Monica for the first time. The twisting glass and steel home was completed in 1994 and has just had a light refresh to its concrete floors. Huge steel bars enclose the cubed house and raise it off the ground. Take an armchair tour.
A minimalist converted factory in London
1 bedroom; £700 per week via Unique Property Company
Minimalist volumes await at this converted chewing gum factory in South London. The long-term let offers enough space to live and work with generous volumes and an inverted layout that maximises light flow through its old metal-framed windows. Exposed beams and wide plank floors run throughout the white-washed home. Get a closer look.
