Silverlake Post and Beam
Located in the heart of Silverlake, a stunning 1959 Post & Beam house designed by Leonard Brunswick boasts an abundance of space and natural light. The bold lines and meticulous design embody the chic optimism of the era. Originally constructed by the architect as his personal residence, the original plans showcase his exceptional mastery of structure and attention to detail, including steel beam support, micro-grading, and meticulous hand-written notes in the margins. The well-considered layout, room dimensions, and solar orientation offer effortless functionality for day-to-day living. The interrelationship of the rooms is well-planned, and the form consistently meets function. The expansive glass pane windows on both levels and tall glass doors provide breathtaking views that encompass some of the most iconic west coast landmarks, including the Griffith Observatory and Hollywood sign, along with a panoramic sweep of tree tops, city lights, and layers of mountains, making it one of the most spectacular views in Los Angeles.
