Modern Living: Architecture - A new type of Steel Case Study Home
“Purchasing an original Case Study steel and glass home is the opportunity of a fortunate few” I am probably going to use either this one or Rocio romero’s in New Mexico one day. Pierre Koenig was an early proponent of a modern steel home. One organization, Modernist Modular Homes provides a variety of models for California and the desert / south west. After all, there are only a handful of old ones, so building one is the way to do it.
Pierre Koenig (October 17, 1925 - April 4, 2004) was an American architect.
Born in San Francisco, received his B.Arch. in 1952 from the University of Southern California, apprenticed under Raphael Soriano among others, and in private practice beginning in 1952, Koenig practiced mainly on the west coast and was most notable for the design of the Case Study Houses No. 21 and 22 in 1960 and other steel houses. Both 21 (the Bailey House) and 22 (the Stahl House) were constructed on dramatic, otherwise-unbuildable sites.
