The Stahl House
Case Study House #22
The Stahl House was designed by architect Pierre Koenig, and immortalized by photographer Julius Shulman. This 1960 glass-and-steel home in the Hollywood Hills has come to embody the idealism of a generation in search of the American dream. As one of the Case Study Houses designed between 1945 and 1966 under the vision of John Entenza and Arts & Architecture magazine, this was an affordable yet progressive design experiment to address the postwar housing shortage. The Stahl House broke rules, defied building codes, and expanded the possibilities of residential architecture. This includes Buck Stahl's initial vision of the home with his own DIY schematic model. It also includes blueprints, floor plans, and sketches by Pierre Koenig, as well as Julius Shulman's renowned photographs. Additionally, photographs of the house used in ad campaigns and film and television are also included, cementing The Stahl House's prominence in contemporary culture.
