The MAK Center for Art and Architecture hosted a very special event featuring two iconic Southern California architecture masterpieces: The Ennis House (1924) by Frank Lloyd Wright and the John Sowden House (1926) by Frank Lloyd Wright Jr.

To celebrate the restoration and renovation of these three historically significant houses previously unavailable to the public the MAK Center and our generous homeowners invited guests to a champagne reception and unique retail experience, created by the design collective Extended Family Projects:

For this fall’s architecture tour fundraiser, the MAK Center highlights important lineages of modern architecture in Los Angeles. Each of the featured architects started their careers working for Frank Lloyd Wright, Richard Neutra, and/or R.M. Schindler (both of whom also worked for Wright). The tour emphasizes the influences at work that made the city’s pre- and post-war architectural scene so groundbreaking.

For the fall 2015 architecture tour fundraiser, the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House featured classic works of architecture in the San Fernando Valley

The artist and MAK Center staff led a guided walking tour of the Kings Road gardens and landscaping. Looking at a 1932 site plan, they discussed Schindler’s intentions and choices in designing the grounds, and the logic of the preservation process that later followed.
