SILVER LAKE

The architecture of Silver Lake developed hand-in-hand with the film industry. Like a mighty wave, the creative individuals captivated by the magic of Hollywood were drawn by the thousands to Southern California to 'make their mark' seeking employment but also needing a place to call home.
The beautiful hillsides of Hollywood, Los Feliz and Silver Lake were often the prefered locations for these early pioneers.
As Los Feliz and the Hollywood Hills became too pricey, homebuyers and renters looked eastward towards Silver Lake.

At the same time, as new architectural styles were coming into fashion, the architects who were designing them found greater acceptance for their often avante garde designs in the cultural mix of Los Angeles.

As a result, the works of modernist pioneers Gregory Ain, R.M. Schindler, Raphael Soriano, John Lautner, and Richard Neutra are literally sprinkled throughout our hillsides.
Following in their footsteps, a new generation of architects has emerged: Gustavo Gubel, Sean Briski, John Southern, Barbara Bestor, Ana Henton, and many more.
These images will help you appreciate our architectural heritage and the new innovators that continue to interpret and exemplify beautiful architectural design.
