Kenneth and Martha Schwartz House
▪ Minimalism and Functionalism
“The most Neutraesque of Schwartz’s work in exterior expression of Minimalist
form, it shows the influence of Mies in use of planes, Wright in treatment of
public and private space, and the Second Bay Tradition (possibly through
Neutra) in its use of materials, but it is distinctively the work of Schwartz in its
kinetic logic.”
The building retains its character defining features including: its single
level form; rectangular facade and offset wings; flat roofline; glass
expanses; rhythmic vertical redwood siding; and expression of
structure through overall form.
