Los Angeles s Street-Porter has been chronicling this metropolis s architecture and interiors for over twenty-five years. This stunning collection of inspiring homes begins with a look back, which includes examples of iconic houses inspired by Hollywood film fantasies, Modernist residences by such luminaries as John Lautner, and Frank Gehry s Deconstructivism-style home. The heart of the book features today s forward-looking homes, divided into two sections: Living with Art and Design and Los Angeles Modern. Antiquarian Joel Chen artfully blends an eye-catching collection of period furniture and Chinese objets while interior designer Jean-Louis Denoit s house sparkles with a Tony Duquette gilded mirror and an abalone shell chandelier. Another trend is the renovation of modernist houses with a personal touch. Artist Mary Weatherford s reworking of her A. Quincy Jones designed home, in collaboration with designer Oliver Furth, has a striking orange bedroom. Illuminating Los Angeles s dramatic indoor-outdoor living spaces, this tome is a must-have for architecture and design enthusiasts.
