  Schindler House
Rudolf M. Schindler's Studio-Residence was the first modern house to respond to the unique climate of California, and as such it served as the prototype for a distinctly Californian style of design.
Rudolf Michael Schindler was born in 1887, in Vienna, Austria.
During this period, the lifestyle embodied in Schindler's design for his house was observed by the Schindler and Neutra families through diet and exercise, psychoanalysis, education, and the arts of music, dance, painting and photography.

 Rudolf Schindler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Schindler had already taken on several private commissions while in Los Angeles, but notably completed what many think is his finest building, his Kings Road House (also known as the Schindler house, or Schindler-Chace house), as an office/house for two men and two women by late spring 1922.
Schindler claimed he was being excessively underpaid, and was, as well as his architectural affairs, running Lloyd Wrights businesses, such as the rental of the Oak Park houses.
