The Christmas List:
Richard Neutra’s Miller House by Stephen Leet
This is a big coffee table book on famous modernist architect Richard Neutra and the house he designed for the socialite, Grace Lewis Miller in Palm Springs. “Miller wanted an open, light-filled house that could also act as a studio for her fashionably avant-garde exercise course in posture and grace, “The Mensendieck System.” Neutra and Miller had great mutual respect, and this produced a work of forward-thinking and artful architecture. This book traces the conception and realization of the house, examines their complex relationship with excerpts from the detailed correspondence between Neutra and Miller, and is full of fascinating photos, sketches and drawing”….And we all want a house like this…
