The Case Study House Program, a landmark American architectural experiment, was announced in 1945 by publisher John Entenza in his magazine Arts and Architecture. The impetus of the program was to build homes which would serve as model environments for post-war living using pre-fabricated and industrial materials developed during World War II. The Case Study Homes were mostly built in Southern California during an optimistic, challenging and creative era in American architecture.
The house pictured is Stahl House, Case House 22 – 1635 Woods Drive, Los Angeles, California, USA, and has been featured in many films and TV productions. Notably “Why Do Fools Fall in Love?” (1998), “Corrina, Corrina” (1994), and “Crazy, Stupid, Love” (2011). (Thanks, William G.)
