Home of the Week: In Los Feliz, an ode to International style

One of two homes designed by Gregory Ain for Ansalem A. Ernst, this historic-cultural monument in Los Feliz takes its cues from the International style perfected by Rudolph Schindler.

Completed in 1937, the house combines clean lines, walls of glass and corner windows to create open, light-filled formal rooms on the main level. Like many hillside homes of the era, the floor plan was inverted so that the bedrooms are below the communal areas and open to the outdoors.
